Gillie. Fair enough, it's an Urban Myth. However, as I said in my previous posting. Me and Elaine don't get on. Most people know that. I don't add to her threads, and I thought she didn't add to her threads. I thought she had enough maturity to pass each other by, as she knows we end up arguing. However, the one of my postings she adds to, she adds a provackative, and discrediting post.

Paul Im sorry it is an urban myth, I received that mail many years ago and its still doing the rounds, yes its a sad poem but Im afraid it doesn't belong to any sick child at this moment in time in hospital with cancer. Gillie xx

*sigh* Elaine, i though we ignored each other now. We don't have anything to do with each other. But the one thing you add to, you try to discredit me. Leave it out. And by the way, it doesn't say on the email the name of the child or her age.

Urban myth it may be, but whoever wrote the words has the right idea! Sheila

It may well be a hoax but the sentiment is absolutely right!! Live each day to the full as you never know when you won't have a tomorrow xx

Urban legend http://www.snopes(.)com/inboxer/medical/slowdance.asp Claim: A 7-year-old girl named Amy Bruce is dying of lung cancer and a brain tumor. Status: False.

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.

It's a poem, by a small girl in a New York hospital, who is terminally ill with cancer....
