i know most of you are probably thinking from my headline up there that i wanna know about slow dancing...that is true but that's not what i'm focusing on....ok here's a good poem written by a cancer patient...really think about this...
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.

Yes, that's a very sweet poem & it's very true. It's been floating around the internet for years now. I'm sorry to inform you though, it wasn't written by a cancer patient, that's an internet myth. It was actually written by David L. Weatherford. In the source you can read about it. Thanks for sharing this with everyone! It's a good reminder that we all need every once in a while!
