20060519ok. i've decided to post this here
cos i'm quite lazy to organise my hotmail contacts
and forward to evryone
anw. this was a mail i received from my friend
This poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a New York Hospital.
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.
the poem is real nice
many parts reflect my life nw except for the parents n child part
i mean life is so hectic now
but the poem is really an irony i tink
if i dunt squeeze as many stuff as possible in a given time
how am i suppose to complete all the things thrown to me
the girl wrote the poem so as to tell us to live our life to the fullest
beacuse she carnt as shes going to leave the world in 6months
well. all i can say is. for the time being
i dun tink i can live my life to the fullest
well. maybe after this yr
i can live my life better by slowing down?
haha. yah. i dunnoe whether you guys reading has seen this before
yup. but i decided to help the girl for once
normally such forward mails i will just read n delete
cos i'm always to lazy to forward
yupp. hope you all take sth out from it or so
