Cool Poem I Read…I Usually Hate Them

Okay, I hate forwards. I usually don’t read them unless it is specifically to me. SORRY to all my friends. But here is a poem I read today and it really spoke to me. Hope it does the same for you:

This is a poem written by a teenage girl with cancer in a New York Hospital.

She wants to see how many people get her poem.
It is quite the poem. It was sent by one of her Doctors.

Make sure to read what is in the closing statement

AFTER THE POEM..

Thought of the Day

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.
