You do not get to choose the dates
That are written on your stone.
But between the dates there is a dash,
And that dash is your own.
You choose how you live that dash
Each and every day.
You choose the things you do,
And you choose the words you say.
How will you spend your dash?
Will you be kind? Will you be true?
Will you help others on your way,
Or live to please just you?
That little dash, it means so much!
It is the life you live.
It really is your only chance
To love others and to give.
That little dash is the story
That your life will tell.
So be careful how you live your dash,
And choose to live it well.
Your Dash(Marla)
