The following is an example of the 'Slow Dance' hoax.
Click here to find out why this is a hoax.
This poem was written by a terminally-ill young girl in a New York
Hospital.
It was sent by a medical doctor - Dr. Yeou Cheng Ma.
Please do what you can to help fulfill this young girl's dream by also
reading what is in the closing statement AFTER THE POEM.
Slow Dance
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.
Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask "How are you?"
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down.
Don'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 his sorrow?
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 somewhere
You 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 slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.
PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO HELP THIS LITTLE GIRL ALL FORWARDED E-MAILS ARE
TRACKED TO OBTAIN THE TOTAL COUNT.
Dear All,
PLEASE pass this mail on to everybody you know.
It is the request of a special little girl who will soon leave this
world as she has cancer.
Thank you for your effort, this isn't a chain letter, but a choice for
all of us to save a little girl that's dying of a serious and fatal
form
of cancer.
Please send this to everyone you know... or don't know. This little
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 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 his to 500 people!!!!So, I know that we can send it to at
least 5 or 6. Just think it could be you one day.It's not even your
money, just your time!!!
PLEASE PASS ON AS A LAST REQUEST

Department of Developmental and
Molecular Biology
