You don't have to push a handcart,
Leave your family dear,
Or walk a thousand miles or more
To be a pioneer.

You do need to have great courage,
Faith to conquer fear,
And work with might for a cause that's right
To be a pioneer.
(To Be A Pioneer, Children's songbook, pg 218)

Thank you, my pioneer ancestors, for making the great effort to come to Utah so I have the opportunity to be a modern-day pioneer.
