[COLOR=red][B][I] How do you live your dash?[/I][/B][/COLOR]
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 birth
Spoke the following date with tears,
But he said what materred most of all
Was the dash betweenthose 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'he 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 you eulogy's being read
With your life's action to rehash
Would you be proud of the thing they say
About how have you spent your dash?

P.S.:Prochitajte etot stih i zadumajtes...Izvenite,chto na anglijskom,prosto perevesti tak zhe ochen trudno.
