> 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
