Cool poems

[stripercrazy]

Didn't write this, thought it was cool anyway.

Time
We never did take time until it was too late.

It passed away

Even while we lay on grass
and every plan we made
was an assumption it would wait.

Sent in by Finchaser. I passed it along to a few people. They said the girl was dying of cancer and it was her last wish. I don't know if it was true or not, but if reading it moves you, feel free to C&P and send it to a few people.

Life is short, stop and smell the roses






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 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.

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.

I read the poem above...has been awhile....
Still brought tears to my eyes.....

If you run your life like a well-oiled machine....
Stop and ask yourself if you have time to schedule some time to smell the roses, or to have a slow dance with the one you love.....

Touching poem, that was, above...thanks Fin for sending....

One for today.....

IF.............




If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting, too,

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not makes dreams your master,

If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same.



Rudyard Kipling

If you can dream - and not makes dreams your master,

If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same.

I thought these words still ring true....Post Sandy...now more than ever.......
