This Post Is in memory of my wonderfull brother who passed away (the 31st may 2006) & as it approaches the anniversary of his passing 1 year on,i wanted to post something to remember him by as he will never be forgotten & is forever in my heart & mind.Here is a poem in his memory,he passed away at the age of 35 years old from Thal major:-
THE DASH
I read of a man who stood to speak at a funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on his tomstone from the beggining
to the end.
He noted that first came his Date of birth,and spoke the following
dates with tears,but he said what mattered most of all,
was the dash between those years.
For that dash represented 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 cash.
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 be still
re-arranged,if we could just slow down enough,
to consider whats true and real.
And always try to understand,
The way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger,
And show apprecitaion more.
And love the people in our lives,
Like we'd 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's being read,
with your life actions to rehash,
Would you be proud of the things they say,
about how you spent your dash.
