To My Children
Where have all the years
gone,
How did I let them slip by me?
I thought I had all the time in the
world, but I didn't I see.
My son has grown to be a man,
My daughter has become a wife.
But it seems like only yesterday,
It was I who was planning their life.
I blew their little noses
I kissed away their tears.
I told them bedtime stories
What happened to all of the years?
You have your children around you,
And you turn to other things as they play.
But don't turn around for too long,
Or they'll be grown up and on their way.
You will have missed the homemade
airplanes, and the smudgy Valentines.
There will be nothing left of their childhood,
How you'll miss "Will you be mine?"
For there's nothing any dearer
Than a little hand holding tight,
Or standing there waving,
As you're driving out of sight.
But soon you'll be standing waving,
As they go on their way.
To live their lives the way they want,
Leaving behind memories of yesterday.
Oh, where have all the years gone,
What happened to those babies of mine?
I turned around a moment too long,
And now they've crossed the grownup line.
Love, Mom

Take Time
Take time to think,
it is the source of power;
Take time
to play,
it is the secret of perpetual youth;
Take time
to read,
it is the fountain of wisdom.
Take time
to pray,
it is the greatest power on earth.
Take time
to be friendly,
it is the road to happiness.
Take time
to laugh,
it is the music of the soul;
Take time
to give,
it is too short a day to be selfish.
Take time
to work,
it is the price of success.
Take time
to do charity,
it is the key to heaven.
Take time
to love and be loved,
it is a God given privilege.

*UPDATE ON KAREN
MORRISON*
Memorial For
Karen Morrison
To

***UPDATE ABOUT KAREN
MORRISON***
(Please read)
Dear
Friends,
With
a heart that is heavy for the loss of a dear friend, I must tell you
that Karen Morrison has departed this life.
On
this day, December 2, 2001 the Butterfly Lady's soul found its
wings. The "Butterfly" has flown away to the arms of her
Savior, and has found her rest in her eternal home.
We
shall all miss her, but the loss is ours, not hers. She now has
entered into the peace and joy of her final reward in the presence
of God.
Our
sympathy extends to her family, for their loss. The empty place once
filled so wonderfully by her presence here is now providing a beauty
in Heaven.
*There
is a condolence book placed on the Memorial Site. You may
leave your prayers and comments there for Bill and family to read
and reply to.
With
Love,
Ruth Ann |
