In loving memory of Arthur Duncan

Our 61st Anniversary would have been celebrated May 10th, 2007.

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 think 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 lengthening 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,

One 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 someday down that lonely road

You'll hear me call your name.

Date of Death: March 10, 2007
