I saw it first when I, a child, was playing by her side; She told me then 'twas father's gift when she became his bride. I saw it oft in sorrow's hours, which marked the after years, When shining on the soft white hand that wiped away my tears. And, Oh! I saw it once again when, on her dying bed, She lifted up her hands in prayer, and laid them on my head. Beside that bed, where fell my tears, the ring to me was given; She placed it on my hand and said "We'll meet again in heaven." I kissed the cheek I oft had pressed, from which the rose had fled, And bowed with grief, stood motherless, alone beside the dead. Among the blest, in realms above, where sorrows are unknown, Oh! may I meet my mother dear, no more to weep alone. Her dying words of love and faith I'll cherish evermore Within the heart which holds so dear the ring my mother wore.Please go to my me button for additional information on collectibles we are offering!

Shipping Procedures I pride myself on quick shipping. I ship next business day after payment is received. Once a package is in the Postal Service hands, I lose control over it. Generally, for US shipments you can expect delivery within 3 or 4 business days (or 3-9 for media rate). For non-US shipments, once the package leaves the US, even the USPS loses control over it. I cannot predict transit times for these packages. They quite often are held up in customs in the receiving country. Please be patient.
