In loving memory of my beloved husband, John Kroll on our Anniversary.

Should you go first and I remain

To walk the road alone,

I'll live in memories garden

With happy days we've known.

In spring I'll wait for roses red,

When faded, the lilacs of 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,

Tho blindly I may grope,

The memory of your helping hand

Will bouy 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 someday down that lonely road.

You'll hear me call your name.

Loving you always,

Carol.
