Jim Cogan 1948 – 2013

…”For that dash represents all the time
that they spent alive on earth.
And now only those who loved them
know what that little line is worth.

For it matters not, how much we own,
the cars…the house…the cash.
What matters is how we live and love
and how we spend our dash.”

My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; ...."
