今早收到美國友人寄來的一封信
Hi Alisa,
I thought this is a great poem to be guided
by and hope that by passing it on it helps
the little girl who wrote it.
信中夾帶著一首美國最近很流行的詩
是一位住在紐約醫院得到cancer的少女所寫
讓人遺憾的是 她僅剩六個月的生命……
他在生命中的最後希望告訴每一個人
大家一定要珍惜時間以及現在的一切
這是他永遠都做不到的了…….

與大家一起分享…

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.
