In the space between the dates, a life unfolds,
A dash that tells of stories yet untold.
Moments fleeting, memories etched in gold,
A journey through the ages, brave and bold.

From the first breath drawn in innocence pure,
To the final sigh, a life’s allure.
Every joy and sorrow we endure,
In that simple dash, we find our cure.

The laughter shared, the tears we cry,
The dreams that soar, the hopes that die.
All within that line, as time goes by,
A testament to the reasons why.

So cherish each day, embrace the night,
For in that dash, our spirits take flight.
Between the birth and death’s twilight,
We find our purpose, our guiding light.
