OK, Not to sound disrespectful in any way or form but the title of this post implies that there is a poem to be read??? "Poem Written By Teenager Dying Of Cancer" The content of this post has neither a poem nor a link to one  Is this an oops???
(or) am I missing something??? Are you in need of a hug right now? 
I've got one, several in fact!

Ok Here it is.......
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.

Beautiful and wise thoughts.  Sad that it was written by someone so young who was dying of cancer. But whoever wrote it left a gift behind for others who read these words. I know I am guilty of some of what is spoken here and this gives me much to think about. Thanks for posting this reminder to all of us, sinderlou. IP: Logged |
