It’s five months now, my lovely boy
The months have been and gone.
Forever since you left my side, but oh!
How your memory lingers on

That last day – it broke my heart
The pain so hard to bear.
But you seemed ready, all set to go
To another life – elsewhere

I must move on, my dear, dear lad
But from day to day, you’ll see.
The love we shared, the fun we had
Will be cherished forever – in me.

So thanks again, my faithful friend
I’ll try not to be so sad
But treasure the walks, the games, the love
And the brilliant time we had.
