I read of a man who stood
to speak
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. (1934 -1998)
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?
The above was sent to me by a good friend
and it is something that fits on my site very well!
so I have no regret in using it .. to share with all of you!!
THAT DASH is very important to all of those that love you
it is their memory of you .. the joy .. the love .. the smile
that you share each day with all those you love!
There are many of you I do not know
but many of you take the time out of your busy day
to email me .. to share .. your joys .. your pains..
and I know that your DASH is real and I know
your LOVE is real .. and I just wanted to let you know
that YOUR DASH MEANS ALOT TO ME !!!
