Cup of Water

This is dedicated to a friend that really pushed me to post since it's been a while. Here goes:

I watched a video some time ago

A video of a lecturer asking his students

How much does a cup of water weigh when you hold it?

And the students gave answers

Various measurements

The lecturer told them that they were all wrong

He made them realize that

A cup of water doesn’t have much weight when you hold it

The weight increases simultaneously at the time goes

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.
