For a Child
Your friends shall be the Tall Wind,
The River and the Tree;
The Sun that laughs and marches,
The Swallows and the Sea.
Your prayers shall be the murmur
Of grasses in the rain;
The song of wildwood thrushes
That makes God glad again.
And you shall run and wander,
And you shall dream and sing
Of brave things and bright things
Beyond the swallow's wings.
And you shall envy no man,
Nor hurt your heart with sighs,
For I will keep you simple That God may make you wise.
~Fannie Stearns Davis (1884-1966)
My old trusty 4 megapixel camera has finally bit the dust, hence the old picture. I am sorry to see summer go anyway so I don't mind looking back on those warm sunny days.
Anybody have an old digital camera sitting around gathering dust and want to donate it to a good blogging cause?

what awonderful poem about how precious chldhood can be! i think you could use our old one camera if you want...it is only 3 megapixel but takes decent pics. let me know if you want it, i will bring it next week.
Hey, what a great idea for my old camera. It is an adjustable - can go from 2mp to 12mp. The only issue with it is taking photos outside in bright light. I never figured that out. Maybe someone younger could figure it out. I'll be glad to send it to you.
