SHOULD YOU GO FIRST
Should you go first and I remain,to finish with the scroll. No lengthning shadows shall creep
In to make this life seem droll,weve known so much of happiness, weve had our cup of joy
And memory is one gift of God,that death cannot deatroy. Should you go first and I remain,one
thing Id have you do: Walk slowly down the path of death,for soon Ill follow you. Ill want
to know each step you take, that I may walk the same, for some day down that lonely road,you11
hear me call your name.

Hands by Albrecht Durer, the so-called perfect artist--whose woodcut and copper engravings were major expressions of his art. He used many religious themes, and was noted for his sensitive and detailed drawings. The story is that these were the hands of someone who had great faith in his ability, and worked to help him attain his artistic training; that in the process, their own hands became so gnarled as to be incapable of equal work; and in gratitude, and because he saw theirlabor of love as beautiful, he immortalized the hands.
