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 pass it 

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.
