WHAT KIND OF DASH WILL YOU MAKE?

When written on a tombstone, there's a dash
between the date you were born and the date you
die.

I don't want my dash ___ to be a straight line. I want
it to be dashes with breaks in between – /\ – ^ – ( – o –
+++ – * – ! If it's a straight line, it means I haven't
done anything but exist.

I want it to be full of breaks that reflect my ups and
downs, curves that show where I may have gone off
track, circles for my times of confusion, pluses for all
the times I made a contribution to someone's life, a
star for the Light I found at the end of the tunnel and
finish it with an exclamation point when God says,
"Come home."
