Tessa

May 1984 – December 2001

there’s a hole in my garden
there’s a hole in my heart
for Tessa has gone
and now we’re apart

but I’ll fill it with memories
of the times that we knew
when the sun would shine brightly
and a bone you would chew

you will live in my heart
to the end of my day
you will wag your tail smartly
with me you will play

there’s a hole in my garden
there’s a hole in my heart
but Tessa’s still with me
when I hear a bark
