I'M GLAD YOU ARE IN MY DASH
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,
But he said what mattered most of all
Was the dash between those years.
(1934-1998)
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
May last only 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?
I got that in an old email and it sounded really...... well it was "touching"
Ok so now for the real part of the entry..
I audtioned for Regina's musical.. Anything Goes... last weeked, and i ended up getting the lead. Im excited about that!!
I have a Zwada Test tommorow that is gonna suck.
On Friday, i have to be at school at 7, then have my first read-through (!!!!!!!!) after school. then i go on my scout campout in holly. A weekend of bike riding, what fun... not, but im goin to get out of GP and breath fresh air and stuff like that.
I cant wait until homecomming stuff is over, it will make me feel like my schedual is a lot less conflicting, although i will still be busy 24/7.
ok i g2g study
I HEART Y'ALL
