“SIX MONTHS ON”

(remembering my splendid dog Oliver)

Six months now, can it be true?
The pain still feels so strong
The silent days, the empty nights
The days have seemed so long

My boy, my lad, my “bestest” pal -
The names all mean the same
The most loyal friend I ever had
Or ever will again

I miss you so – I think you know?
But one day we’ll be joined in Love
Running free – just you and me
Across Rainbow Bridge above.

So wait for me, my faithful friend
Can’t wait to see your face
Once again, life will be good
In that happy, joyous place

We’ll do the walks we used to do
Play the games that were such fun
Can’t wait, can’t wait, my lovely boy -
Celebrate – NEW LIFE BEGUN!
