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 FALL, 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. WE LOVE AND MISS YOU, YOUR WIFE, LORETTA ANN MALLETT DARBONNE; SHANE, CHRISSY, HEATHER AND KATELYN, CHILDREN; KAREN AND PAM, SISTERS; BETTY AND RUSSELL DARBONNE, PARENTS. |
