   The Dash
   by Linda Ellis

   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 her 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 is being read
   With your life’s actions to rehash

   Would you be proud of the things they say
   About how you spent your dash?
