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.

By you sending 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.
