I feel compelled to say that this has been on my pc for over a yr so sadly the girl is gone to the best of my recollection they did raise some large sum of money, however i do not recomend the you do as they request at the close of this, I just thought that all of it had to be included. -soft thoughts bg1

This poem was written by a terminally
ill young girl in a New York Hospital.
It was sent by a medical doctor -
Make sure to read what is in the closing
statement AFTER THE POEM.


SLOW DANCE

Have you ever watched kids On a merry-go-round?

Or listened to the rain Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Do you run through each day, On the fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done, Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Ever told your child, We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste, Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch, Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time To call and say,"hi"

You'd better slow down.

Don't dance so fast.

Time is short.

The music won't last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.

Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.



PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO HELP THIS LITTLE GIRL.
ALL FORWARDED E-MAILS ARE TRACKED TO OBTAIN THE TOTAL COUNT.

Dear All:
PLEASE pass this mail on to everybody you know.
It is the request of a special little girl who
will soon leave this world as she has cancer.
Please send this to everyone you know or don't know.
This little girl has 6 months left to live, and as her dying wish,
She wanted to send a letter telling everyone to live
their life to the fullest, since she never will.
She'll never make it to prom, graduate from high
school, or get married and have a family of her own.
By you sending this to as many people as possible,
you can give her and her family a little hope,
because with every name that this is sent to,
The American Cancer Society
will donate 3 cents per name to her treatment and recovery plan.
One guy sent this to 500 people! So I know that we can
send it to at least 5 or 6.
Just think it could be you one day. It's not even
your money, just your time!
PLEASE PASS ON AS A LAST REQUEST

Dr. Dennis Shields, Professor
Department of Developmental and Molecular Biology
1300 Morris Park Avenue
Bronx, New York 10461

That I can agree with. And I should also appologize to Boilergirl for posting such a short response to her intial post. My intent was to point out that the little girl is likely not even a little girl. Just forgot that I could be a little more tactful while doing it.
