When someone passes away, we always mark their dates of birth and death. But, as the poem on this memorial frame notes, it’s the years between those numbers that truly represent your loved one’s accomplishments. Display his sentiment along with a 4x6 photo of your friend or family memory in your home or office via this lovely personalized Dash Between frame, which includes not only this touching poem but also the name and dates of the deceased. The poem reads:
The Dash Between
I knelt there at the headstone
of one I love and cried.
Name, with dates of birth and death
were perfectly inscribed.
I pondered these two dates
and how little they both mean
when compared to the tiny dash
that lies there in between.
The dash serves as an emblem
of our time here on the earth,
and although small, it stands for all
our years of life, and worth.
And our worth will be determined
by how we live each day.
We can fill our dash with goodness,
or waste our life away.
To ourselves, as well as others,
let’s be honest, kind and true,
and every day, live the way
we know God wants us to.
May we look for opportunities
to do a worthy deed,
and reach out with compassion
to those who are in need.
For If our hearts are full of love
throughout our journey here,
we’ll be loved by all who knew us
and our memory they’ll hold dear.
And when we die, these memories
will bring grateful, loving tears,
to all whose lives were touched
by the dash between our years.
