DASH ing through life....to where?

I read of a Pastor who stood to speak...
At the funeral...of a friend,
He referred to the Dates on the Tombstone,
The dates from the Beginning....to the End.

He noted that the first date ...was his Birth...
The last date...he referred to... with tears.
Quietly he said, "what matters the Most...
Is that simple DASH...that stands between the Years!

That DASH represents all the time and work
That you spent, as you walked upon this earth.
Only those who loved this person...
Knows what this tiny Dash was worth.

For it matters not, what we owned,
The cars, the House, Titles... or the cash...
It only matters what we Did with love
and what we Did with our DASH...

So, let's think about this, long and hard...
Is there Something that you'd like to change.
For we know NOT how much time we have,
Or IF we have time left to simply rearrange---

If we could all...just slow down a bit
And consider what counts and if it's real.
We'd try hard in understanding others...
be helpful and accept how other people feel.

Being slow to anger or quick revenge...
But showing our appreciation even more.
Reflecting Christ to other people...
And love others...like never before.

For our years on earth are short...
But our Actions will forever ....last.
For Every moment is important, so enjoy it,
And make the “Best of your Own Little DASH.”
