This is the poem I DEDICATED TO HIM.......

To: SKRUFFY....... "Should you go first!"

Should you go first and I remain to walk the road alone, I'll live in memories garden, dear, with happy days we've known.
In Spring I'll watch 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 thing 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 busy 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 that long, lone path, for someday I will follow you.
I'll want to know each step you take, that I may walk the same, -
For someday down that road, by your side, again and for always,
you'll forever hear me calling your name.
