How Do You Live Your Dash?

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 fist came her date of birth
And spoke the following date with tears,
But he said what meant the most of all
Was the dash between those years (1934-1998)

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’s being read
With your life’s actions to rehash…
Would you be proud of the things they say
About how you spent your dash?

Disoriented Faith

Old old old poem i wrote during MY depression era..

controversial perhaps..

DISORIENTED FAITH
I beg for answers, but I get questions
Can’t help but doubt God's words, God's creations
The worst of Christians, the best of sinners
All the pain in the world, crying oceans, crying rivers
Who chooses today, what’s right or what’s wrong?
How do you segregate the weak from the strong?
Bible burning baboons multiplying each day
Everyone has their own opinion, so is it ok?
Greed, envy, gluttony, lust?
With all this in the world, who can you trust?
Don’t forget, wrath, sloth and the big one, pride
Because of all this, Jesus died-
On the cross in return for each and everyone's sin
We believe this; we live by this, but something within-
Our hearts, our loneliness, our deepest dark side-
Questions the bible; the book, the guide-
To the way the good Lord wants us to live,
To God, our lives, that’s what we must give.
I trust in God, leave me he won’t,
I trust in God, it’s his followers I don’t.
