[交流] THE DASH a poem

Maybe there are many of this kind poems or essays, but the meaning does  never behind the times, so what have you got here?   SHARE IT!


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, 1964-1994
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 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 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’’s being read
With your life’’s actions to rehash..
Would you be proud of the things they say
About how you spent your dash?

"For it matters not, how much we own", is it right? I think it matters. Why do we work so hard? Why do we want do best? What do we want to pursue?

it's a trap,isnt it? there's someone just makes the way that you are walking, sets goals that have you addicted to pursuing, formulating discipines that have you obey,with little conscious of yourr beening slaves.sometimes when you stand out of the trap, you'l know your hard work,your pursuing , in the eyes of somebodys, are just a ridiculous.    we are on the bottom of pyramid, feeding those worms above us!
A real and true world only lays in your own heart!

A trap, I think it is. However it's too hard to escape the trap.
