I live for those who love me,
Whose hearts are kind and true,
For the Heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my spirit too;
For all human ties that bind me,
For the task by God assigned me,
For the bright hopes yet to find me,
And the good that I can do.
I live to learn their story
Who suffered for my sake;
To emulate their glory,
And follow in their wake;
Bards, patriots, martyrs, sages,
The heroic of all ages,
Whose deeds crowd History's pages,
And Time's great volume make.
I live to hold communion
With all that is divine,
To feel there is a union
'Twixt Nature's heart and mine;
To profit by affliction,
Reap truth from fields of fiction,
Grow wiser from conviction,
And fulfill God's grand design.
I live to hail that season
By gifted ones foretold,
When men shall live by reason,
And not alone by gold;
When man to man united,
And every wrong thing righted,
The whole world shall be lighted
As Eden was of old.
I live for those who love me,
For those who know me true,
For the Heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my spirit too;
For the cause that lacks assistance,
For the wrong that needs resistance,
For the future in the distance,
And the good that I can do.

Oh those are great. Just great. I love seeing some of the "real" you! But the perfect, beautiful, staged shots are the real you too. I love seeing both sides! Those are so fun.
Those are awesome! :) Seriously though, I love your maternity shoot pictures. They're beautiful!
These are better than the first ones!!!
Love them! Especially the last one, what in the world are you doing?!
I have no idea...it's pretty though.
You look very "gangsta" - it kind of befits your potty mouth.
Wow, your eggo is preggo! You's one of those cranky pregs when the camera's not looking!
HAHAHAHAA! Ladies and gentlemen, the TRUTH. :) I love it!
Those are hilarious! Don't you love the "dark side" of pregnancy?!! By the end of mine, Mitch knew to just bring me a chocolate milkshake if I got that look on my face!
I love them. How funny!
I went private. If you would like to look at our blog, send me your email address to libbylovesmike@gmail.com and I will send you an invite. Don't feel like you have too, but I wanted to let you know.
I will try to make it to your shower next week. Hope you are feeling good!
LOL they were great. Must be said that even your "Bad" photos are really cute.
