  • Let Me Go - Christina Rossetti [Poem]
    Let Me GoChristina Rossetti

    When I come to the end of the road

    And the sun has set for me

    I want no rites in a gloom filled room

    Why cry for a soul set free?

    Miss me a little, but not for long

    And not with your head bowed low

    Remember the love that once we shared

    Miss me, but let me go.

    For this is a journey we all must take

    And each must go alone.

    It's all part of the master plan

    A step on the road to home.

    When you are lonely and sick at heart

    Go to the friends we know.

    Laugh at all the things we used to do

    Miss me, but let me go.

  • The Dash- Linda Ellis [Poem]

    I read of a man who stood to speak

    At the funeral of a friend

    He referred to the dates on the tombstone

    From the beginning...to the end


    He noted that first came the date of birth

    And spoke the following date with tears,

    But he said what mattered most of all

    Was the dash between those years


    For that dash represents all the time

    That they spent alive on earth.

    And now only those who loved them

    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 this special dash

    Might only last a little while


    So, when your eulogy is being read

    With your life's actions to rehash...

    Would you be proud of the things they say

    About how you spent YOUR dash?
