Slow Dance
This is a poem written by a teenager with cancer.
She wants to see how many people get her poem.
Slow Dance is quite the poem. Please pass it on.
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.
Personally I don’t believe the bit about Slow Dance raising money though. Heres the proof, The American Cancer Society say they have nothing to do with the Slow Dance. Read more here:

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.
That was slow dance! The Slow Dance poem I like but this bit I think is a hoax to get people to forward Slow Dance.

Dear All: PLEASE pass this mail on to everyone you know -
even to those you don’t know! It is the request of a special girl who will
soon leave this world due to cancer.
This young 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 at least send it to 5 or 6. It’s not even your money, just your time!
PLEASE PASS ON AS A LAST REQUEST.
