Honey Love
A place in my heart will never again be filled
Because the Labrador who once dwelt there somehow became ill
That night my mind was elsewhere,
I was cleaning my room
Somehow I chose that night and here begins the gloom
Over the years I’d been away at school
Your hyperness faded and I was a fool
I don’t think I realized, I had so much planned
You and me, Honey Love, together till the end of the land
And then when I was woken one morning you were gone
Faded out quickly with the coming of dawn
A heart attack seized you right after your prime
And took you away long before it was time
I know that Dear G-d will take care of you now
But there are so many times that my heart hangs so low
My first dog, my Hun Bun, you’ve been taken away
I just want you to know that I love you each day.
Until the day we meet again,
You and Tiger, my truest best friends.
