at the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on her tombstone,
From the beginning...to the end.
He noted that first came her
date
of birth,
And spoke the following date with
tears.
But he said what mattered most
of all,
Was the dash between those years.
For that dash represents all
the
time,
That she spent alive on earth...
And now only those who loved her,
Know what that little line is
worth.
For it matters not, how much
we
own;
The cars...the house...the cash,
What matters is how we live and
love,
And how we spend our dash.
So think about this long and
hard...
Are there things you'd like to
change?
For you never know how much time
is left,
That can still be rearranged.
If we could just slow down
enough,
To consider what's true and real,
And always try to understand,
The way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger,
And show appreciation more.
And love the people in our lives,
Like we've never loved before.
If we treat each other with
respect,
And more often wear a smile..
Remembering that this special
dash,
Might only last a little while.
So, when your eulogy's being
read,
With your life's actions to
rehash...
Would you be proud of the things
they say,
About how you spent your dash?
