onelunger Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 I think this is beautiful and want to share it with you. Hope you don't mind. I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend He refered to to the dates on her tombstone from the beginning to the end he noted that first came her date of birth and spoke the 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 that 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 re-arranged if we could just slow down enough to consider whats true and real and always try to understand how 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 may last only a little while so when your eulogy's being read with your lifes actions to rehash would you be proud of the things they say about how you spent your dash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debaroo Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Truer words were never spoken...Gotta make the most of that dash-it is so fleeting. Thank you for sharing such a thought provoking poem. I will print it out and it will now be displayed on my fridge. Take care, Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay A. Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Oh Dash It All.......... Oh dash it all, My Dash is bent, Resulting from My youth (misspent). And my middle years? Gave it a kink, About 45 degrees, I think. Bent and kinked, Though it may be, This Dash is mine It makes me ME! I just couldn't resist..... by Fay A. who woke up this morning looking a whole lot the Crypt Keeper on Tales of the Crypt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
