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 seen his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let the 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....
Dear All:
PLEASE pass this mail on to everybody you know. It is the help request of a special little girl who will soon leave this world as she has cancer. Thank you for your effort, this isn't a chain letter but a choice for all of us to save a little girl that's dying of a serious and fatal form of cancer.
Please forward this to everybody you know or don't know. This little girl has six 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 a 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 three cents per name to her treatment and recovery plan. One guy sent this to 500 people! So I know that you can send it to at least five or six. Just think, it could be you one day. It's not even your money, just your time!
PLEASE PASS IT ON AS A LAST REQUEST
Dr. Dennis Shields, Professor, Department of Developmental and Molecular Biology, 1300 Morris Park Ave., Bronx, New York, 10461.
Dream as if you'll live forever..live as if you'll die today..
