    Worth the Living,
    
                          
                                       Reaching 
    
                          
    B     e     y     o     n    d   mortality-
    
                          
               Touching eternity-
    
                          
    Face-to-face
    
                          
                                     With courage-
    
                          
    I     glimpse     God
    
                          
                              An event seared
    
                          
    Upon     my     consciousness.
    
                          

    
                          
        N    o    w-

                     Is complete-
    
                          
                Oh-
    
                          
    To turn back and whisper stridently-
    
                          
    The truth is worth the living!
