A Hole in My Heart
With every friend we lose, comes a Hole in our heart
A hole that could never be filled, till the day we ourselves depart
Only the comfort of our memories, family & friends makes it almost bearable
Though “This Hole” is forever a part of our lives
Funny how it is, a home filled with others could seem so empty
Funny how it is, a yard filled with many other animals, but still vacant to my eyes
Funny how it is, now I look at person walking with his friend and only now it seems so precious a moment
Funny how it is, a simple day laying on the floor or in the grass next to your friend now seems so long ago
Funny how it is, the sight of a common Frisbee or Tennis Ball brings an uncontrollable Rush of memories into your head
Funny how it is, how Ordinary days could become Special days when shared with a friend
Funny!………….Think again, all those things “Gone” in an instant, with a wink of your eyes
In a Flash, your alone, so very alone missing such a crucial part, a part of your Heart
That Hole in my heart will never depart………Though I would not want it to, because it where my friend now lives
One day, maybe not soon looking thru our every day eyes, My Heart will be whole again
The “Hole” now there forever healed and that can never been torn apart again
But that will not happen in this life, for this life is forever changed with the passing of My Friend
It is my only hope, that I had filled the “Hole” in “Her” heart, when I made her mine and promised to never part
And if I accomplished this, and made “Her” whole, I know our lifes could never be torn apart
Though you are gone, know we are one, never alone….…..I will be with you, in Your heart and You in mine
I Love you My Cherri, never Forget that ”I” am in your Heart and that we will never really be apart
Luv,
Your Dad
Dedicated to My Cherri Dog
