This poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a New York Hospital
It was sent by a medical doctor
   
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.

What a wonder this young person must be! Those words will give me much food for thought. I pray that God touches in an even bigger way , this little life.

A very strange thing happened here in our town a couple of days ago....another sweet child...not the one mentioned above....fell asleep in the Lord....she was eight years old....a close friend of the family reported to me that on the afternoon of the child's death she (the child ) told her mother "I have to go now...there are two fairies in the room."   Now the family was not a Christian family, never discussed angels or God or heaven...so, what was it that this little 8 year old saw?  ???
