Slow Dance: A Touching Poem by a Teenager with Cancer

I read a poem a friend of mine sent to a group and I was very touched at how this lovely soul would soon be leaving this world.

This is a poem written by a teenager with cancer in a New York Hospital. She wants to see how many people get her poem. It is quite a poem, please pass it on. It was sent by a medical doctor.

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.
