If Death should beckon me with outstretched hands
and whisper sofdy of "An Unknown Land"; I shall not be afraid
to go. For though the path I do not know, I take Death's Hand without a fear, for He who safely brought me here will also take me safely back And though in many things I lack,
He will not let me go alone into the "Valley That's Unknown" .. So I reach out and take Death's Hand and journey to the "Promise Land". 'Helen Steiner Rice
