Margaret G. Jackson

""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"" -- Unknown ""In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble, They're only made of clay, But our love is here to stay.
