Bittersweet is every memory,
Now that you have gone so far from me.
I know I will not forget you,
Part of me will always miss you,
Charlie I have lost my special friend,
But love remains at the end.
No more waiting for me at the gate,
Scolding me when I was very late,
With your Charlie sounds you’d greet me:
“Now you’re home it’s time to feed me,
And a cuddle would be welcome too.”
So much reminds me of you.
Basking in the sun, without any care,
Rolling on your back, all paws in the air,
Trusting every moment would be fine.
As you roamed our land with a tiger’s prowl,
Blackbird, humming bees, hooting of an owl
Sang of life, my Charlie’s life and mine.
Your affection made my heart feel glad,
You would comfort me when I was sad,
So delightful and forgiving
Teaching me the art of living
Blessing me with precious years of joy
That even death can’t destroy.
Bittersweet is every memory,
Now that you have gone so far from me.
I know I will not forget you,
Part of me will always miss you,
Charlie I have lost my special friend,
But love remains at the end.
Love remains at the end.
Only love remains right at the end.
