Can anyone tell me who wrote the poem Slow Dance?

help?

if it's the one im thinking of, then no

it is supposedly written by a girl who had a terminal illness

but it's been around in so many emails that it's impossible to trace the author

(then again, we may be talking about completely different poems here. you need to tell us what the poem was about, or post some of the lines here)

allegedly written by Amy Bruce, says Wikipedia

But this other article says it was actually written by Dr. Weatherford
