“Mama” Joann McClaine

In loving memory of our beloved “Mama” Joann McClaine whose birthday is August 22.

Beyond The Sunset

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 faded, the lilies 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, thou blindly I may grope,

The memory of your helping hand will buoy me on with hope.

Should you go first and I remain, one thing I’ll have you do,

Walk slowly down that long long path, for soon I’ll follow you.

I want to know each step you take, so that I may walk the same,

For someday down that lonely road, you’ll hear me call your name.

Happy Birthday!

We miss you so much!

Sadly missed by, Your Loving Husband Joe and Your Family
