Our Philosophy
It
is our wish that The Official Memorial Pin ®
makes a moment in time stand still, as we are reminded of
the preciousness of everyday life, our families and our
friends. May this reminder help us to be more
grateful and kind, not only to the wearer of the Memorial
Pin, and to each other, but to ourselves as well.
In Sympathy... In Memory... In Charity... |

A Poem for Thought Absence What shall I do with all the days and hours That must be counted ere I see thy face? How shall I charm the interval that lowers Between this time and that sweet time of grace? Shall I in slumber steep each weary sense, Weary with longing? Shall I flee away Into past days, and with some fond pretense Cheat myself to forget the present day? Shall love for thee lay on my soul the sin Of casting from me God's great gift of time? Shall I, these mists of memory locked within, Leave and forget life's purpose sublime? O, how and by what means may I contrive, To bring the hour that brings thee back more near How may I teach my drooping hope to live Until that blessed time, and thou art here? I'll tell thee; for thy sake I will lay hold Of all good aims, and consecrate to thee, In worthy deeds, each moment that is told While thou, beloved one! art far from me. For thee I will arouse my thoughts to try All heavenward flights; all high and holy strains; For thy dear sake I will walk patiently Through these long hours, nor call their minutes pains. I will this dreary blank of absence make A noble task-time; and will therein strive To follow excellence, and to o'ertake More good than I have won since yet I live. So may this doomed time build up in me A thousand graces, which shall thus be thine; So may my love and longing hallowed be, And thy dear thoughts an influence divine. Florence Ann Kemble
