This is a poem
written by a teenager with cancer.

She wants to see how many
people get her poem.

It is quite the poem. please favorite

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.

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 clicking the heart, you can give her and her family a little hope, because with every click on heart, The American Cancer Society will donate 3 cents
to her treatment and recovery plan. It's
not even your money, just
your time to click the heart!

PLEASE PASS ON AS A LAST REQUEST.

I don't care if this is fake, I'm going to write music for this, and ask if I can sing it for the school, I'll tell them I only wrote the music though.

Even if this is fake, it was still written by somebody out there, and they obviously wanted to make a point.
