Jo and grandson, Zack

For my sister, Jo
August 31, 1931 ~ April 30, 2000


Since you've gone first and I remain,
to walk the road alone,
I'll live in memory's garden, Jo,
with 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.


Since you've gone 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 buoy me on with hope.


Since you've gone 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.







The music playing is:
