The Dash


I got this at a recent funeral of a cousin, had not seen it before, but hit home


I read of a man who stood to speak,
At the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on his tombstone
From the beginning... to the end.

He noted that first came the date of his birth
and spoke of the following date with tears,
But he said that what mattered most of all
was the dash between the years.

For that dash represents all the time
that he spent alive on earth
and now only those who loved him
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.
