She wants to  see how many  people get her poem.  It is quite the poem  Please pass it   on. This  poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a  New York  Hospital 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 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.  10461       --
