The 9th of March 2007,
a day I will always remember,
no words can be spoken,
to mend a heart that is so broken,
my house is quiet and no longer a home.
Oh, but my sadness is deep,
I bravely put my Charlie Boy to sleep,
no more barks in the hallway,
my love lives for him always,
I gave him his last haircut that day.
Now drowned are my fears,
by oceans of tears,
and long will I miss,
his cry for help during his last weeks,
when he could no longer walk,
to his doggy bowl or to the yard.
After fourteen years it still came too soon,
winter, spring, summer, and fall,
and I thought to myself, he is now a happy boy,
the angels cashed in on their loan and took him HOME.
