Well... I didn't write these poems... But they are some of my favourite ones and I thought I'd share them with you....
The first poem is circling the net, through emails and is apparently a poem written by a young girl who is to die soon. I don't know how old or how long the poem has been going around. But I found it really touching...
The next poem was written by Robin Hobb... I love the books I found this poem in... and the poem is just a peice of magic...

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 a 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.

In that last dance of chances
I shall partner you no more
I shall watch another turn you
As you move across the floor
In that last dance of chances
When I bid your life goodbye
I will hope he treats you kindly
I will hope you learn to fly
In that last danceof chances
When I know you'll no be mine
I will let you go with longing
And the hope that you'll be fine
In that last dance of chances
We shall know each others mminds
We shall part with our regrets
When the tie no longer binds.

And the hope that you'll be fine
In that last dance of chances
We shall know each others mminds
We shall part with our regrets
