why we blog

Here's our story, page by page,

Happy youth and middle-age,

Smile and tear-drop, weal and woe

Such as all who live must know—

Here it is all written down,

Not for glory or renown,

But the hope when we are gone

Those who bravely follow on

Meeting care and pain and grief

Will not falter in belief.
