A little girl's prayer

[Guest guest]

Am forwarding something moving, received from a friend -

Kids with Cancer

Please forward to as many people as you know. This poem written by a

terminally ill young girl in a New York Hospital was sent by a medical

doctor - Dr. Yeou Cheng Ma. Please do what you can to help fulfil this

young girl's dream by also reading what is in the closing statement

after the poem.

 

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 you 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.

 

PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO HELP THIS LITTLE GIRL, ALL FORWARDED E-MAILS ARE

TRACKED TO OBTAIN THE TOTAL COUNT.

Dear All: PLEASE pass this mail on to everybody you know. It is the

request of a special little girl who will soon leave this world as she

has cancer. Thank you for your effort, this isn't a chain letter, but a

choice for

all of us to save a little girl who is dying of a serious and fatal form

of cancer. Please send this to everyone you know... or don't know. This

little 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. By your ending

this to as many people as possible, you can give her and her family a

little hope, because with every name that this is sent to, The American

Cancer Society will donate 3 cents per name to her treatment and

recovery plan. One guy sent this to 500 people!!!!

So I know that we can send it to at least 6. Just think it could be you

one time!!!
