Fwd: Slow Dance (don't delete please read)

[Guest guest]

Some of may not have done some of the things this girl won't have a chance to do, but we do have our life and each other...I hope this doesn't offend anyone - we have to live with our bronch a long time, I know we all wish there was research for bronch.While I'm thinking of it:  I found that the CF Foundation in Australia was set up by parents of kids with CF, do the fundraising etc.  Most of probably can't do a lot of that kind of stuff, but I would like to start a Trust, or Foundation, and whatever $ I have when I die will also contribute to it.  I don't know anything much about setting up of such ... will need to a bit of research.  But, apparently this is the way to get govt funding for research and development of meds and treatments.Anyone interested??joyBegin forwarded message:Subject: FW: Slow Dance (don't delete please read) Slow Dance  This is a poem 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.This poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a New York Hospital.It was sent by a medical doctor - Make sure to read what is in the closing statement AFTER THE POEM.  SLOW DANCEHave you ever watched kidsOn a merry-go-round?Or listened to the rainSlapping 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 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 chores Running through your head?You'd better slow downDon'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 hissorrow?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 somewhereYou 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!
