Two poems I found about life that really touched my heart. Authors Unkown.
It’ wond’rous what a hug can do. A hug can cheer you when you’re blue. A hug can say, “I love you so” or, “Gee I hate to see you go”. A hug is”Welcome back again!” and “Great to see you!” or “Where’ve you been?”
A hug can soothe a small child’s pain and bring a rainbow after rain. The hug! There’s just no doubt about it, we scarcely could survie without it.
No longer do you have to worry, for a hug is the way to say “I’m sorry.” A hug delights and warms and charms, it must be why we all have arms.
Hugs are great for Fathers and Mothers, sweet for sisters, swell for brothers. Chances are some favorite Aunts love them more than potted plants.
Kittens crave them. Puppies love them. Heads of state are not above them. A hug can break the language barrier and make the dullest day seem merrier.
No need to fret about the store of;em. The more you give the more there are of ‘em. So stretch those arms without delay, and GIVE SOMEONE A HUG TODAY!
How to Live Your Dash
I read of a man who stood up to speak, at the funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on her tombstone, from beginning to the end.
He noted that first came the date of birth, and spoke the following date with tears. But said what mattered most of all, was the dash between those years.
For that dash represents all the time, that she had 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 most, is how we live and love, and how we spend our dash.
So think about it 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 is true and real. And try to understand, the way other people feel.
Be less quick to anger, and show appreciation more. And love the people in our lives, like we’ve never loved them before.
Treat each other with respect, and more often wear a smile. Remembering this special dash ,might only last a 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?
