I've seen death staring at me with my own eyes in a way many cannot know. I've seen death take a lot of other people and leave me here below. I've heard many mother's cries, but death refused to hear. And in my life I've seen a lot of faces filled with many, many tears. After death has come and gone a tombstone sits for many to see. It's not more than a symbol of a person's memory. I know the person's name I read the date of birth. Dash And the date the person passed. But the more I think about the tombstone, the only important thing is the dash. Yes, I see the name of the person but that I might forget. I also read the date of birth and death but that might not stick But thinking about the person I can't help but think about the dash. Because that represents a person's life and that will always last. So when you begin to character your life make sure you're on a positive path. People may forget your birth and death but always remember: They'll never forget your dash. - Alton Maiden [ Lou Holtz "A Teen's Gamee Plan for Life" ] |
