is what the tombstone read
If I could talk to them today I wondered the words that would be said
What a life, an adventure this person must have lived
All that they have seen, all that they did

But this date spoke to me in ways only a soul could ever hear
So I started to listen with my heart and not with my ears
The dash in the middle is where the journey of life begins
Not the born on date and surely not in the end

For what you do in between determines where our road will lead
Its not what you have done but rather what we do that brings us peace
So when I lie down in my bed am I grateful for the day
And when I am in my final rest will I have a smile on my face
