What is life? Life, the animate existence or period of animate existence of an individual. I suppose when people say life is fragile, I don't really take it seriously until recently. Trust the folks, life is really fragile. You would say so too if you've witness a death right beside you, someone dying of a heart attack. I was on the train with a friend when this man suddenly fell out of his seat and his heart starts attacking. So, do you think life's fragile now? I hate to say this but human race will die and eventually will extinct like the animals does. But how would you spend it? I came across this poem,
The Dash - 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 her date of her 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 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
Might only last a little while.
So, when your eulogy is being read
With your life's actions to rehash
Would you be proud of the things they say
About how you spent your dash?
sigh, let's mourn for his death.
rest in peace, friend. to me:
kidnap me. please
What's up.
Poets often describe love as an emotion that we can't control,
one that overwhelms logic and common sense. That's what it's
like for me. I didn't plan on falling in love with u, and I doubt that
you planned on falling in love with me. But once we met, it was
clear that neither of us could control what was happening to us.
We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did,
something rare and beautiful was created. For me love like that has
happened only once, and that's why every minute we spent
together has been seared in my memory. I'll never forget a
single moment of it. The best love is the kind that weakens
the soul that
makes us reach for more, that plants fire in our hearts and
brings peace to our minds. And that's what you've given me.
That's what I hope to give to you forever.
I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to
sleep at night. If you ask me will I love you for the rest of your life,
my answer is NO. I will love you for the rest of mine.
kidnap me. please
