She'll never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a family of her own.+ b+ M1 C1 z: S" M  m
By you sending this to as many people as possible, you can give her and her family a little hope, because with every name that this is sent to, The American Cancer Society will donate 3 cents per name to her treatment and recovery plan. One guy sent this to 500 people! So I know that we can at least send it to 5 or 6. It's not even your money, just your time!) Y! r& s6 |7 }8 [2 m; s7 i

这诗的大概意思让人们停下匆匆的脚步,好好地体会生命,好好地关爱身边的人。' G1 k. _. \2 d9 q' O6 `- }, c; d

这几天赋闲在家,我也想如此,可是每次开车外出,看着车辆稀疏的街道,我心里就感觉特别惶惶。
