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.

These are seriously soooooo cute! It always seems like such a pain, but our one night a year at the drive-in is really worth it isn't it?!!!
(Even if we really don't see much of the movie.)
btw- so glad you are blogging again!!!
Love those soda shots!
I like being able to talk through the show without bugging anyone.
And Mater was kinda funny.
So great! Thanks for the pictures!
I haven't been to the drive-in for years but I LOVED it as a kid. What a fun idea for a little family. Your kids are adorable (as always). So are you. Love ya.
