Your loving ways continue to guide us through, each day and your favorite poem soothes us still. Should You Go First Should you go first and I remain, To walk the road alone, I'll live in memory's garden, dear, With happy days we've known. In spring I'll wait for roses red, When fades the lilac blue, In early fall when brown leaves call I'll catch a glimpse of you. Should you go first and I remain, For battles to be fought, Each thing you've touched along the way, Will be a hallowed spot. I'll hear your voice, I'll see your smile, Though blindly I may grope, The memory of your helping hand Will buoy me on with hope. Should you go first and I remain, To finish with the scroll, No length'ning shadows shall creep in, To make this life seem droll. We've known so much of happiness, We've had our cup of joy, And memory is one gift of God, That death cannot destroy. Should you go first and I remain, the thing I'd have you do; Walk slowly down the path of death, For soon I'll follow you. I'll want to know each step you take, That I may walk the same, For some day down that lonely road, You'll hear me call your name. Albert Roswell Love, Peter, Caaren, Paula & Lauri Sue & family
