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.”
