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.

The fountains are so fun. I always forget to bring towels or a change of clothes so my kids have to dry the slow way.
Does school start for you on Monday?
Fun fun fun! Love that picture of Jane in the water- what a cutie!
Did my hair look like that the whole day?
I think your hair looks pretty...
I think you look pretty too Mary! Cute pictures, Jane does look like she's having fun in that picture! I really need to take Isaac there sometime!
I would love to have seen a picture of Lucas' face after the water shot up! And by the way, pushy blogger, just because you blog your entire summer in one week doesn't mean you can bully other people!!!!
I love the one of the three of us. I think that last one I've seen of us three was back at Lake Powell three years ago! So fun.
so fun! I love the one of Lucas at the end just laying on the ground. :)
