Because 5/05/11 was National Cancer Survivor Day

6/5/2011

I found this online and felt it was worthy to post on my blog on this National Cancer Survivor Day, May it speak to you about life and about what all cancer survivors already know:
Life is not a race
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over

The author is unknown and the date was not applied so if you know who wrote it please share.

Slow Dance

This is a poem was said to be written by a teenager with cancer

She wants to see how many people “get” her poem
It is quite the poem please pass it on
It says she was a terminally ill young girl in a New York Hospital
And It was sent by a medical doctor

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 in the fading light

You’d 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 seen 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 of the fun of getting there
When you worry and hurry through your day
It’s like an unopened gift
Thrown away

Life is not a race
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over

*****************

I don’t know who really wrote this but the poem has an important message and I feel it is worth sharing with you.

 Every day young children have been told by a doctor they have cancer or are fighting this ugly monster and I imagine if you asked them they would tell you:

Live life to its fullest,  Slow down,  Hear the music, Before the song is over.

Cancer still takes so many lives old and young undeserved and we still have not conquered this sickness. Thank you for sharing the poem.
I hope we will find a cure very soon so nobody has to die of this disease anymore.

I so love the poems you shared here. I'm sure, whoever wrote these poems, they mean something to it. It has a meaningful message that I think anyone of us can relate.
