SLOW DANCE
Contributed by Jeff Maxwell
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 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 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.

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.
Thank you for your effort, this isn't a chain letter, but a choice for all of us to save a little girl that's dying of a
serious and fatal form of 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 his or her 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
Dr. Dennis Shields, Professor Department of Developmental and Molecular Biology
Albert Einstein College of Medicine of
Yeshiva University
