The Law Of The Wild

Slow Dance
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.
I received this the other day as an e-mail. It was said that a 16 year old terminally ill girl had wrote this poem and her wish was for this poem to be forwarded all around the world.
You just never know about whether things like this are true, but I forwarded it to just about everyone on my e-mail list.
I have lost FAR too many friends at a young age. This poem just really hit home for me.
It is now officially my very favorite piece of poetry I have ever read.

I can only hope and pray that the story that went with it is not true.
