Gone But Not Forgotten

There’s a hole in my heart
Where Cherokee used to be.
No words of condolence
Or kind sympathies
Can quiet the storm
That I feel at my core
Knowing dear Cherokee
Won’t be here anymore.

Friends say they’re sorry
Intentions are true.
They can’t understand
What I’m going through;
Grief’s my companion
Since I’m without you
My soul’s filled with sorrow
I walk around blue.

But there’s comfort in knowing
My beloved pet waits.
She’s crossed Rainbow Bridge
And entered the gate
Where all of God’s creatures
Who’ve passed from the Earth
Are happy and healthy
A blessed rebirth.

So I thank you my Cherokee
For friendship so true
When others deserted
I could count on you
I’ll carry your memory
Forever inside
And patiently wait
‘Til you’re back by my side.

In Loving Memory Of
Cherokee
