En dikt har landat i min mailbox.
Den uppges vara skriven av en tonårstjej i New York. Flickan har drabbats av cancer som inte går att hejda.
Jag vet inte hennes namn, mer om historien eller dess sanningshalt, men här är dikten vars budskap vi nog kan behöva lite till mans, oavsett hälsotillstånd.
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 seen 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.

Den är fin - jag har sett den gå runt som mail som man ska skicka enligt kedjemetoden (som jag är motståndare till i alla former). Hur behjärtansvärt syftet än är. Men dikten är verkligen tänkvärd.
SvaraRaderaThought inspiring! My husband agrees with me very much! We read it together.
SvaraRaderaBut then again: The theory is nearly always easier than the practice.
For obvious reasons my blog doesn´t have too many English-speaking readers, so yes, I think I know who u are.
SvaraRaderaAs a matter of fact I thought of you when I pressed the "publish" button.
Should of course be written n´est-ce pas, but I hope noone noticed that :) My English is obviously better than my French.
SvaraRaderaThank you for the thought whilst pressing the button!
From both of us.
It is also a good idea to avoid any accidents, slips or falls.
SvaraRaderaIf you make mistakes and you use a simulator, then it
will cost you nothing. The students are imparted
cost-effective training into experiencing and learning how situations of emergency
can be handled. If you are running your simulator for commercial purpose and there are
people playing with their own golf clubs, ask them to wipe their clubs with a wet clean piece cloth.
3) Physical parameters: The simulators are almost real, but actually they
are on the ground, I mean around the sea level.
And just as I mentioned above that you simply came across a large number of distinctive types of medicines, but still you're in problems. Known by Argentineans as Salta la Linda (Salta the Fair) this bustling city is a fine mix of the old and new, where European café culture and fine colonial architecture interacts daily with a central American flair for art and living; creating an ever-changing personality and identity for this entertaining city which, as of yet, has been little altered by the tourism wave. Yeast Infection No More Book By Linda Allen is a 150 page downloadable e-book, jam-packed with the whole set of blueprint all-natural yeast infection treatment solutions, distinctive highly effective methods as well as the step by step holistic yeast infection process. If you suspect that your method has become infected there are a number of points you can do yourself to try to get rid of the offending application. The doctor will ask about symptoms of metabolic disorders such as fatigue, headaches, cramping, mood changes, shortness of breath, and chronic diarrhea.
