The Dash
thedashmovie.com/
life: to live to love.
for people with a screwed flash player, if you're wondering what is it about, read on.
The Dash - 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 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 in 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 most 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 will 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 spend your dash?
