Each day I can not say,
The unknown I welcome.
And I have no fear of it.
But I do keep a faith,
That remains unshakened.
And I know that God knows this,
With each step forward I take...
To prove to myself and no one else,
That I can with my faith...
Become mentally and physically,
Strengthened.
And to notice my fears,
With an unimportance of them kept...
Are being diminished.
To one day have none left.

Lawrence S. Pertillar
