Marian Vavro

In loving memory of our Marian Vavro who passed away Sept. 7

BEYOND THE SUNSET

Should you go first and I remain, to walk the road alone,

I’ll live in memories garden, dear and happy days we’ve known.

In spring I’ll wait for roses red, when faded, the lilacs 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 you voice, I’ll see you smile, tho 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 I may take the same.

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