[hometext] => This is not a poem that I have written but one that was given to me and I would like to share it with everyone. It really made me think about things and made me see whats really important. THe author of this poem is unknow.
[bodytext] => 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 begining to the end. He noted that first came her date of birth. And spoke the following dates with tears, But he said what mattered most of all Was the dash between those years.(1900-1970) 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 read. 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 done 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 eulogys' being read with your lifes' actions to be rehashed... Would you be proud of the things they say About how you spent your dash?

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
