En tänkvärd dikt

Jag hittade den här dikten hos Monica. Kanske något att tänka på för fler än mig?

"Detta är en dikt som har skrivits av en tonåring med cancer. Hon vill se hur många det är som förstår hennes dikt. Skicka dikten vidare.
Flickan bor på ett sjukhus som heter New York Hospital. Dikten är skickad av en läkare på sjukhuset. Kom ihåg att läsa det som står EFTER dikten också."
Här är dikten:

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 ofgetting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopenedgift....Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over
