Slow Dance Email

A lot  of people have gotten the "Slow dance email", all of the people who didn't like forwards just deleted it, but if you read on, i always do, you would have found iut that it was for a good cause!! The email was a poem a teenager with cancer wrote, for every person you sent it to, 3 cents were donated to a cancer fund, well, any way, here's  the poem from the  email that I got. I tried to post the whole email , but it wouldn't let me!! :( well, any way, here's the poem: 
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 e 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 

˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜ tried to change it as little as possible. The only things that are different are  the font and a few periods. 
Because you can't change this, it is perfect. 
I don't know her name but to whoever wrote this beautiful poem, you will always be in our hearts. <3
