Slow Dance - A poem written by a teenager with cancer.

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 . 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.

The alternative to the Golden Rule is the Platinum Rule: "Treat others the way they want to be treated. Find out what respect means to others." The Platinum Rule accommodates the feelings of others.  You start finding out what respect means to others instead of just knowing what respect means to you. The focus of relationships shifts from "this is what I want, so I'll give everyone the same thing" to "let me first understand what they want and then I'll give it to them."
