Should You Go First

by A.K. Rowswell

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 lilacs 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 ahall 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,

one thing I'd have you do;

walk slowly down that long, lone path,

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.
