This p0em is written by a terminally ill y0ung girl in a New Y0rk H0spital

It touches every single humans s0ul

N0b0dy get exempti0n =(

Sl0w Dance

Have y0u ever watches kids

On a merry-g0-r0und ?

Or listen t0 the rain

Slapping 0n the gr0und ?

Ever f0ll0wed a butterfly's erratic flight ?

Or gazed at the sun int0 the fading night ?

Y0u better sl0w d0wn

D0n't dance s0 fast

Time is sh0rt

The music won't last

D0 y0u run thr0ugh each day 0n the fly ?

When y0u ask h0w are y0u

D0 y0u get the reply ?

When the day is d0ne

D0 y0u lie 0n y0ur bed

With the next hundred ch0res

Running thr0ugh y0ur head ?

Y0u better sl0w d0wn

D0n't dance s0 fast

The music w0n't last

Ever t0ld y0ur child

We'll d0 it t0m0rr0w ?

And in y0ur haste

N0t see his s0rr0w ?

Even l0st t0uch

Let a g00d friendship die

Cause y0u never have time

To call and say hi

Y0u better sl0w d0wn

D0n't dance s0 fast

Time is sh0rt

The music w0n't last

When y0u run s0 fast t0 get t0 s0mewhere

Y0u miss half the fun 0f getting there

When y0u w0rry and hurry thr0ugh y0ur day

It is like an un0pened gift . . .

Thrown away

Life is n0t a race

D0 take it sl0wer

Hear the music

Bef0re the s0ng is 0ver .
