The Dash

  This poem came about when I was in high school.  The idea came to me by reading an interview of Mike Tyson in a magazine.

The Dash

From the year you were born
to the year you will die
That's the dash on your stone
make a dash for your life
Enigmatic, it's placed
from a year to a year
Years determined by fate
until death do us fear
What the dash represents
are the things you have done
No two dashes the same
yet alike every one
