A Dash

We measure our lives by the things we do, the right and the wrong roads we travel down. The highs and the lows we all at times endure, our achievements and our failures. Each life experiences these all spread out in a lifetime. All the fame we gather or the infamy we shed, but when we die our gravestone reads our name, born - died. Only a dash expresses our life, there are no words to express who we were or to show how we lived our lives. Only a dash to say we existed between two points of time. 14 February 2012
