The Dash

Excerpt from a poem written by Linda Ellis


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 the date of her birth 

and spoke of 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 she spent alive on earth

and now only those who loved her, 

know what that little line is worth.
