“ What matters is how we live and love and how we spend our Dash”

THE DASH

(By Linda Ellis: 1996)

I read of a man who stood to speak
at the Funeral of a friend,
He referred to the dates on the tombstone
from the beginning…to the end.

He noted that first came the date of birth
And spoke the following date with tears,
But he said what mattered most of all
Was the dash between those years.

For that dash represents all the time
That they spent alive on earth.
And now only those who loved them
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 this special dash
Might only last a while.

So, when your eulogy is being read
And your life’s actions to rehash,
Would you be proud of the things they say
About how you spent YOUR dash?

From the first point of contact we pledge to honour: ‘The Dash’. We strive to build relationships within a warm, happy and safe environment. Our highly experienced and exceptionally well qualified and diverse Work Family are dedicated to offering Outstanding Care. After Care is an integral part of this journey.

We are passionate about welcoming your Family into Ours
