Unforgotten

The afternoon sun was warm and bright, as we sat underneath the old tree. We'd ridden the buggy out from town, my dog, my sweetheart and me. The blanket was spread out in the shade, a lunch of chicken and bisquits and tea. We were ready to enjoy the day, my dog, my sweetheart and me. I gazed at her there with eyes so blue, and hair like new spun gold, And wished the day to last forever, in my memory to have and to hold. But then I awoke and found, myself at the graveside to be, And remembered that time from long, long ago........... With my dog, my sweetheart, and me.
