His Dash For Me

You may know of the DASH that separates our date of birth and our death on our tombstone and how, although it bears significance, is treated as if it is worth no more than the minus sign it resembles. A facebook friend asked that we look at the DASH again and I did

This is what  the DASH was to me

 

His Dash For Me

 

He was born on Christmas day

In the most loving time they say

So it was his destiny

 

David, our Prime Minister was meant to be

As he was, living all his years

Sharing with others and quelling fears

He lived his DASH trying to impart

 

Family First with his generous heart

Opened doors for the downtrodden men

Risked all to stop Violence and Crime from spreading

 

My Prime Minister and yours lived his DASH fully

Equal rights to all and dreamt of a Barbados with Love and Unity

    Such a small and insignificant looking character, but representes volumes of words that space and time cannot hold.
    For sure in David's case - DASH does not mean hurrying or panic. But taking time to fill in all the blanks, dotting the "I"s and crossing the "t"s.

    The insignificant dash that holds and unexplainable amount of information too lenghty to record, but a blessing to experience. whether good or bad, no matter whose dash it is directly or indirect forms a part of our existence.
