The Libbey files

From time to time, Libbey takes my camera and goes crazy, taking picture after picture of all sorts of fun and delightful things. I'm always inspired by her creativity and outlook on life! So, without further ado, please enjoy some of her work!

"Looking for a place to go"

"What book should I read?"

"Peeking and listening to a conversation"

"Can you find me?"

"Best friends"

"Fighting over the crown"

"Felicity, get that horse out of the house"

Give Us Men!

Give us men!
Men--from every rank,
Fresh and free and frank;
Men of thought and reading,
Men of light and leading,
Men of loyal breeding,
The nation's welfare speeding;
Men of faith and not of fiction,
Men of lofty aim in action;
Give us men--I say again,
Give us men!

Give us men!
Strong and stalwart ones;
Men whom highest hope inspires,
Men whom purest honor fires,
Men who trample self beneath them,
Men who make their country wrestle them
As her noble sons,
Worthy of their sires;
Men who never shame their mothers,
Men who never fail their brothers,
True, however false are others:
Give us men--I say again,
Give us men!

Give us men!
Men who, when the tempest gathers,
Grasp the standard of their fathers
In the thickest fight;
Men who strike for home and altar,
(Let the coward cringe and falter),
God defend the fight!
True as truth the lorn and lonely,
Tender, as the brave are only;
Men who tread where saints have trod,
Men for Country, Home--and God:
Give us men! I say again--again--
Give us men!
