I f Death should beckon me with outstretched hand, I shall not be afraid, fo r though the path I do not know, I take death's hand without fear, fo r he who safely brought
me here. Will always take me safely back, and though in many things,
I lack. He will not let me go alone, In to the " V alley" thats
" Unknown" So I reach out to death's hand, And journey to the promise
land.
