“…well, i had just gotten the book, sir…one of the boys gave it to me on the train, and the title of the book was called ‘poems that touch the heart“…i read one in particular called ‘should you go first‘ it was beautiful.”Elvis Presely, 1968

    The words to the poem that our Elvis thought was “beautiful”…

    I think I like verse 3 the best…

    Should you go first and I remain To walk the road alone,
    I’ll live in memory’s garden, dear, With happy days we’ve known.
    In Spring I’ll wait 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 buoy me on with hope.

    We’ve known so much happiness, We’ve had our cup of joy,
    And memory is one gift That death cannot destroy.

    Should you go first and I remain, One thing I’d have to do:
    Walk slowly down that long, lone path, For soon I’ll follow you.
    I”ll want to know each step you take That I may walk the same,
    For some day down that lonely road You’ll hear me call your name.
