"Time is too slow for those who wait,
too swift for those who fear,
too long for those who grieve,
too short for those who rejoice,
but for those who love,
time is eternity."
Henry Van Dyke
Happy glowing faces, upon this Christmas Tree
Each marked in time, for our eternity.
Time moves on but can not erase
The love we have for each Child's face.
Written by Sheila Simmons
In Memory of her son Steven Simmons

Never take someone for granted.
Hold every person close to your heart
because you might wake up one day
and realize that you've lost a diamond
while you were too busy collecting stones....

A TIME TO REMEMBER
A time to remember will always be there,
In our minds and our hearts our children’s memories are clear.
Our worlds stopped when our children died.
Time stood still! We were in shock, we denied, we cried.
How could we continue on through this grief and this pain?
This had to be some horrible trick or game!
We have tried to live on, then we are told to forget!
But how can we? We are not through grieving yet.
“Time heals all wounds,” we have heard it said,
But our hearts are bleeding --- our children are dead!
A time is set aside in our nation to remember
Great heroes and events.
Sometimes we remember in honor and celebration -
Sometimes, in reverence and lament.
Likewise, a time to remember our children will always be there,
In our minds and our hearts our children’s memories are near!
By Faye McCord, in loving memory of my son, Lane McCord (1/26/65-9/13/98)
TIME
I thought that time was healing
All the hurt you left behind
That empty spaces could be filled
My arms, my heart, my mind
And though my body looks the same
As it did when you were here
The emptiness grows inside me
More with each passing year
I thought that time was healing
All the heartbreak and the pain
That as the tears were fading
Soon I wouldn’t feel the same
And though I can be smiling
And you think that I’ll survive
The pain is in my blood now
I have nowhere else to hide
I thought that time was healing
All the loss a mother feels
That now you live within my heart
I had you near me still
But I need so much to touch you
To hold you close once more
And those memories I’m told are mine
Can never be as before
I thought that time was healing
All the while the mask was being worn
That underneath a new me
Was waiting to be born
But now I find I am the mask
It helps to keep me safe
And though my heart is breaking
You won’t see it on my face
I thought that time was healing
All those tears my eyes have seen
That aching arms that miss you
Could be satisfied with dreams
But here I am, in pain again
And healing stands alone
And a mother weeps, the world can see
For a child who can't come home

A Time to Remember
Tick tock, tick tock,
The hands keep turning on the clock.
It's been six years,
And we've shed many tears,
Since she left.
Some times were good,
Some times were bad,
Some times were sad,
While she was here.
But now that she's gone,
Out of respect for her,
We want to remember
The good times mostly,
While acknowledging that most lives,
Have some down turns.
It seems so long,
Since she's been gone,
But remembering her,
Will take much longer......,
The rest of our lives!
Written by David Haddock
In memory of Bonnie Catherine Haddock (02/06/1985-08/13/2002)
“A Time to Remember”
A time to remember we do it everyday
A time to remember since you went away
A time to remember five years have gone by
A time to remember we still are asking why
A time to remember you were only 18 years old
A time to remember so much life left untold
A time to remember our middle son and brother
A time to remember you above all others
A time to remember we miss you so very much
A time to remember all lives you have touched
A time to remember you’re one of heaven’s shinning stars
A time to remember as we look at you from afar
A time to remember all our love to you we send
A time to remember till the day we see you again

""IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN""
It's that TIME again,
to remember when.
The year 1973 and freezing cold
when you were only 7 months old.
It's that TIME again,
to remember when.
Your favorite Christmas, 9 years old,
brand new bikes, if only I had known.
It's that TIME again,
to remember when.
Christmas now 35 years later,
and my pain sometimes is greater.
It's that TIME again,
to remember when.
This, the fifth December since you left,
and somehow, we still do our best.
It's that TIME again,
to remember when.
Our fun loving shopping trips,
never a Christmas, did we skip.
It's that TIME again,
to remember when.
How terribly sad I am without you,
not only at Christmas, the whole year through.
It's that TIME again,
to remember when.
My family so very wonderfully complete,
last Christmas of 2003, never to repeat.
It's that TIME again,
to remember when.
The True Reason For The Season!!!
IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN!!!!
