I DID NOT GO ALONE
Death has beckoned me with an out stretched hand
And whispered softly of " An Unknown Land" I am not afraid to go,
For though the path I do not knew, I have taken Death's Hand without a fear
For he who safely brought me here Has also taken 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 reached out
And have taken Death's Hand And journeyed to the " Promised Land" !
