A Pittance of Time - Terry Kelly

On November 11, 1999 Terry Kelly was in a drug store in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. At 10:55 AM an announcement came over the stores PA asking customers who would still be on the premises at 11:00 AM to give two minutes of silence in respect to the veterans who have sacrificed so much for us.

Terry was impressed with the stores leadership role in adopting the Legions two minutes of silence initiative. He felt that the stores contribution of educating the public to the importance of remembering was commendable.

When eleven o'clock arrived on that day, an announcement was again made asking for the two minutes of silence to commence. All customers, with the exception of a man who was accompanied by his young child, showed their respect.

Terry's anger towards the father for trying to engage the stores clerk in conversation and for setting a bad example for his child was channeled into a beautiful piece of work called, A Pittance of Time. Terry later recorded A Pittance of Time and included it on his full-length music CD, The Power of the Dream.

I listen to this song every year during the remembrance day assembly at my school and every year I didn't care, but today during the ceremony I found myself crying and as soon as I got home I went on the computer and looked it up, this is my 10th time listening to it today

Your song is such a gift thank you Terry my uncle I saw walking down that aisle and my heart smiled while the tears streamed down my face, knowing that his memory is hoonred still although his spirit rests with his Scottish war bride Annie in a cementary among roses and other vets in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan. Uncle Harold we miss you and thank you for giving up your youth at age 16 to see wars no one should ever witness.

Luv and roses,

Shelley
