Back of stone:
MY DAYS ARE
AN UNCERTAIN
THREAD OF CHANCE.
HANDLED DELICATELY
MY CREATOR'S FINGERS.
IN THESE SKILLED HANDS
THE FABRIC BECOMES
SOMETHING OF THE STUFF
THAT MAKES ETERNITY.
OF WHAT RICHNESS AND WHAT VALUE
I CAN ONLY HOPE.
MY SINGLE EFFORTS
TO ACHIEVE
ONLY SERVE TO MAR
THE STRANGE DESIGN.
CONCEIVED IN PERFECTION
I CAN BUT GAZE IN AWE.
