Chuck
This poem was requested by a wonderful gentleman whose beautiful dog ‘Chuck’ sadly passed away recently. The poetic words capture the true essence of Chuck in every sense of the word and highlight the special bond between Chuck and his owner. Chuck’s spirit and vitality continues to live on in the hearts of the people he touched in his local community.
Chuck you are so special to me, and although you can’t be here
You’re forever in my heart, every moment throughout the year
We had the strongest bond, together we were one
Your caring ways were captured, in your playfulness and fun
Never have I had, such a best friend like you
As my protector and guardian, your bravery did shine through
And even though your presence, is missed each and every day
I know that you are watching over me, in a loving kind of way
A companion in a million, nothing will take your place
My soul it smiles inside, when I look at your happy face
Your memory will last forever, in me your spirit lives on
It fills my heart with happiness, even though you are gone
Chuck you were just like my shadow, always by my side
And every time I think of you, my heart fills up with pride
