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.

That's pretty catchy ;)
I like the shot of David and Lukey in the chrome.
Nice pictures! I love the one of James- it looks like it was shot my a giant. Were these from last night?!!! Man- you are really on the ball. I'm impressed.
Oh my goodness...Mike would be in HEAVEN at this. How fun that you got to go.
How is Lucas doing since sunday? We missed him and Jane in the picture. I told James that you thought he did a great job (I agree) and he appreciated that. I hope Lucas is alot better now.
Lucas has a nice smile. Is he getting better about having his picture taken?
Holy rollers. These pictures are awesome!!!
