Beyond the Sunset Since you have gone and we remain, To walk the road alone, We'll live in memory's garden, dear, With happy days we've known. In spring We'll wait for roses red, When faded, the lilacs blue. In early fall when brown leave fall, We'll catch a glimpse of you. Since you have gone and we remain, For battles to be fought. Every thing you've touched along the way Will be a hallowed spot. We'll hear your voice; We'll see your smile, Tho blindly we may grope, The memory of your helping hand Will bouy us on with hope. Since you have gone first and we remain, One thing we'll have you do, Walk slowly down that long long path For soon we'll follow you. We want to know each step you take, So we may take the same. For someday down that lonely road, You'll hear me call your name. Author unknown
