ehkaiser Joy of Being

Annotation

BrevityLife is but a momentBetween our birth and our demise . . .A small dash between tombstone numbersMarks the living of our lives.Whether young or old, rich or poor,All dash lengths are the same,But what will be rememberedIs how well you lived each day.You may boast about success in life, butNo matter how successful youve been,Its the deeds youve done for othersThat will be remembered in the end!So use your dash wiselyWhile youre here on this earth,And you will be rememberedAlways . . . beginning with your birth.But if your focus has been only on self,And youve cared not for anyone else,And your attitude has been rotten, then once gone,You will be totally and forever forgotten.
