I always become very cynical about e-mails which are sent around containing poems and messages sent by so-and-so who is in one terrible situation or another... but regardless of whether the opening and closing statements are true, Adidass is right, that poem has a really great flow and the ending section:

"Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over."

Is fantastic for how it plays on the previously used theme:

"You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last."

Changing it from a suggestion to an instruction. Whether or not this was written by a terminally ill girl, its really good...
