Men who for truth and honor's sakeStand fast and suffer long.
Brave men who work while others sleep,
Who dare while others fly...
They build a nation's pillars deep
And lift them to the sky.

A Thought for this Special Day
Men who for truth and honor's sakeStand fast and suffer long.
Brave men who work while others sleep,
Who dare while others fly...
They build a nation's pillars deep
And lift them to the sky.

Inspiring - and truthful. Thanks for bringing that into my life.
Cheers!
Lovely quote and great sky photo.
Labor Day feels so different to me now that I'm retired. It used to be a day that signaled the end of summer, but now that I don't work in a job any more, it is possible to remember it just for itself. I am marking this day to honor all of us.
lovely poetry... so true
You picked a really good quote to mark Labor Day. We owe a lot to those who work long hard hours.
I think we forget too often that years ago there wasn't such a thing as labor laws or work place safety guides. We need to remember those who worked hard to get those things established as well.
Yes, Labor Day! I always find it so amazing that great structures can rise above the ground, such as these towers...especially back when tools were not had like today. And, we must honor those who create the tools too...Wow! Mankind is awesome when the work does not (intentionally) hurt others...
Gorgeous picture. I love the clouds in the picture.
Great picture and quote as always. Labor day used to just mean an end to summer but now it actually means something to me.
I answered your question on Tresa's Blog and Animals That Give Pause. Basically if you are geeky @ all you will like wordpress. You have to do more of the search engine stuff yourself and get everything organized by yourself but I think it's worth it to have creative license?
Your amazing the way you put the photos together with a quote so well...Bravo, Judy :D
Lovely Labor Day Post.
That is a beautiful quote and perfect picture to bring it home.

amazing sky! 'love the qoute too. :)
A good quote, as always. I like the picture too. I find myself looking off into the distance down the power lines. There's kind of a beautiful symmetry there.
That's a nice one Judy, and perfect capture of "transformers"...they do looked like them.
