It's Your Dash

I stood on the doorstep of a lady 

Who told me the only way to live

Was to live life to the fullest

With every blessed breath you get


She said, “All we become at the end, 

Is nothing but a spirit and bone,

So, from the beginning, to the end,

Live that Dash on your tombstone.”


And it does not matter how much you own,

Because you’ll lose it all in the end

And spend your dash with those you love,

With family and chosen friends


Sure, don’t be quick to anger,

And show appreciation more,

And love the people in our lives,

Like you’ve never loved before.


But remember, my love, that out of it all

You take the time to appreciate you,

And truly understand the way you are

And not someone you saw past through


Of course, treat each other with respect

And more often wear a smile, 

Remembering this special dash 

Might only last just a little while


But remember when your eulogy is read

Would you be proud of the things they say

About how you spent your dash

If you didn’t live life your own way


Don’t live just to make others smile

Make sure you live, love and laugh

Because you’ll never get another chance

To live it fully if you’ve only lived for half
