帶著一身的疲憊﹐我回到家裡﹐打開電子郵箱﹐發現了一封有些特別的轉寄郵件。對於轉寄郵件﹐我一向是直接刪除﹐但我發現此封郵件竟被轉寄了將近二十次之多﹐強烈的好奇心驅使我打開了那封郵件。信中﹐是一名十六歲女孩的遺言﹐她由於得了癌症﹐將不久于人世。但她心痛的看到一些比她幸運的人完全不懂得珍惜生活﹐享受生活﹔人們成天的忙忙碌碌﹐只顧著從起點奔向終點﹐卻忘了看一路上的風景。其實生命是一首舞曲﹐一首激情四射又不乏柔美旋律的舞曲﹐我們理當放慢舞步﹐在音樂結束之前﹐盡情享受﹔對於那些不懂得生活樂趣的人﹐生活只不過是一份還沒有來的及拆開﹐就被丟掉了的禮物......
遺言是用詩的方式表達的﹐希望大家看完後﹐能夠一起為這個不幸的女孩祈禱﹕
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.
