THE DASH OF PRESIDENT MILLS

I read of a man who stood to speak at a funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on her tombstone.

From the beginning.....to the end.

He noted that, first came the date of her birth and he spoke of the following date with tears,
but he waht matters most was the DASH between those years.

For that DASH represents all the time
she spent alive on earth
and now only those who loved her
knows what that little line is worth.

For it matters not, how much we own,
the cars...the houses...the cash...

Waht matters most is how we lived and loved........
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 you 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 in anger
and show more appreciation
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 that this special DASH might only last a little while.

So, when you 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?

From the STUDIO360degrees team to all Ghanaians, as we mourn our past President, Let ask our selves this question.
The man has done his part;
He has spent his DASH with us and we can all share in the testimonies from all over the world.
