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