Poem

[Guest guest]

> Jeanne Buesser asked me to post this poem. I thought I should

explain why.

hello everyone,

I just would like to clarify the information regarding Danny.

Danny was sick for a few days. The oncologist doctor's think the term

was only for 6 weeks they think. Besides the bloated stomach he

didn't say much and had problems sleeping towards the end. He was 3

1/2. The compassionate friends children's memorial day which I

coordinate is a tribute to all our children. We read poems,tell

memories, sing a theme song and lastly a balloon lauch at the end.

Many of you may not know this, but Jeanne's oldest son, , was a

happy

> little four year old boy who was having belly aches for a number of

months.

> After numerous appointments with various doctors, was

diagnosed with

> a fast-growing cancer. A week later, they scheduled surgery to try

to find

> out more, and the next day, September 11, 1996, Jeanne's son

passed

> away.

Hey Group:

Here's a poem sent to me by my son when I reached " 0 " .

Pain is a word stressed by many,

But consoled by few.

Confronted by many,

But handled incorrectly, mostly?

true.

Tears always's seem to fall,

Have you ever wondered why?

Pain is meant to go down stairs,

Not up and run and hide.

Within a tear is pain and love,

After you cry the love increases.

Maybe you crack a smile,

But when the pain decreases.

Your heart seems to run a mile,

in that mile you site much

Maybe you see, hear, or touch,

A piece of what we need,

But in that time don't forget,

What brought you to your knees,

Or maybe to this moment.

There's no happiness without pain

No tears without fear.

So don't find a one to blame.

When you need someone near,

Just look to the sky and cheer.

There's no need to say,

You will not know,

But you will understand his way.

Hi All,This is a beautiful poem. Unfortunately, it appears that this was not written by a young girl, but rather by Weatherford, an adult psychologist, and is no way related to Dr. Dennis Shields, whose contact details are listed at the bottom of the email. It has been circulating on the web for about 8 years now. Please refer to http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/medical/slowdance.asp or http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/s/slowdance.htm for more info.Best, MicahWhitney <whit032489@...> wrote: From: jmoon@...To: dkd@...; jwalt@...; mmoon84@...; oddjoce@...; whit032489@...Subject: Fw: (no

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 dayOn the fly?When you ask How are you?Do you hear the reply?When the day is doneDo you lie in your bedWith the next hundred choresRunning through your head?You'd better slow downDon't dance so fast.Time is short.The music won't lastEver told your child,We'll do it tomorrow?And in your haste,Not see hissorrow?Ever lost touch,Let a good friendship dieCause you never had

timeTo call and say,'Hi'You'd better slow down.Don't dance so fast.Time is short.The music won't la st.When you run so fast to get somewhere reYou 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 slowerHear the musicBefore the song is over.------------ --------FORWARDED E-MAILS ARE TRACKED TO OBTAIN THE TOTAL COUNT.Dear All: PLEASE pass this mail on to everyone you know - even to those you don't know! It is the request of a special girl who will soon leave this world due to cancer.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 e 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. One guy sent this to 500 people! So I know that we can at least send it to 5 or 6. It'snot even your money, just your time!PLEASE PASS ON AS A LAST REQUEST.Dr. Dennis Shields, ProfessorDepartment of Developmental and Molecular Biology1300 Park AvenueBronx , New York 10461 See what's new at AOL.com and Make AOL Your Homepage.
