Dust!

[Tak]

Dust if you must, but wouldn't it be better
To paint a picture, or write a letter,
Bake a cake, or plant a seed;
Ponder the difference between want and need?

Dust if you must, but there's not much time,
With rivers to swim, and mountains to climb;
Music to hear, and books to read;
Friends to cherish, and life to lead.

Dust if you must, but the world's out there
With the sun in your eyes, and the wind in your hair;
A flutter of snow, a shower of rain,
This day will not come around again.

Dust if you must, but bear in mind,
Old age will come and it's not kind.
And when you go (and go you must)
You, yourself, will make more dust.

Remember a house becomes a home when you can write "I love you" on the furniture.
Remember a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.
It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived.

How very profound Sam

Who is that by?

[Tak]

Have to be honest and say not a clue - someone posted it on another forum and I really liked it so thought I would share

Rose Milligan i think

Very profound indeed. I think I'm going to show it to my wife when she asks me why I haven't cleaned up.
