| The light shone so brightly It moved across the earth To remember precious children For all that they're worth. The angels watched in Awe As so many people drew near. They were miles apart, Together, their hearts shed a tear. Their children were called To come, sit and see. As one light grew dim, Another there would be. They knew then who this was Causing the glow in that way. Their mommy's and daddy's Remembering them special today! The joy fills their hearts, They know from above They're remembered and so missed, To them, we're sending our love.
On Sun. Dec. 15th, 1996 at 7 pm ACROSS THE WORLD, candles were lit by bereaved parents in remembrance of our children. It started near New Zealand (at the International Date Line), on Dec. 15th at 7 pm for them. Bereaved parents lit a candle for their child and all the children around the world who have died. As their candles were burning low, the next time zone lit theirs at 7 pm, and so on. Eventually, it worked its way around the globe, so that there were candles burning for 24 hours, around the world, in remembrance of our children. Starting that night, and continuing the next day, there were reports from places around the
world, that on Sunday night, the 15th, there was a halo around the moon
