Pawprints in my Heart

My lap is too too empty, and cold

the soft resting head no longer there to warm it.

No comfort to be found, no furry body to stroke

my quiet companion gone....



My heart is broken, there are no other words

to write it - this empty ache, this space

you filled, loving always, never judging...

My friend has left, and my hands, arms, all

helpless to stop it.



Little one, fly free, where the fields are green

and filled with friends gone before. I will

carry you always, your pawprints ever beating,

running joyously to greet me whenever I call

and memory stirs in my heart...




My sweet little Charlie had to be put down to sleep this week. She's now happy in heaven with my dad...

I LOVE YOU AND WILL MISS YOU MY LIL' BABY! THANK YOU FOR BEING MY COMPANION FOR 18 YEARS!
