Tis well said...presented at my mom's funeral...always brings tears to my eyes.

Our lives are too busy...we take life for granted. No one is guaranteed a 'tomorrow'

love you, momma

My grandpa died and I read this poem aloud

[tommymp3]

There'll be two dates on your tombstone

And all your friends will read 'em

But all that's gonna matter is that little dash between 'em

-Kevin Welch

Be very careful when posting "the Dash" in any environment. It may be a beautiful poem but the author, Linda Ellis, is a notorious copyright troll, threatening suits against churches, charities, etc for posting her poem without permission, demanding settlements of $7,500. The poem may be beautiful, but the author is relentless, aggressive and will sue you into oblivion if she catches you using her poem. Google it yourself if you're skeptical.

I think the song came with the poem? I heard of this many years ago.

Do you have the rights to the song?

Sad and beautiful at the same time. Gives us cause to think about what really matters in our life.

It was read at my Mothers and will be read at mine.......
