I couldn't be more than
Four or five at the time
And that kitten we had
for only one day
It was sometime
Around Christmas time
I was about to take a photo
with my dad
I kept playing with the kitten
I was so very much in love
All that day and night
Charney was my first love
I cried when Charney
Went back to the farm
Told a better place for her
Was amongst the animals
I kept playing with the kitten
I was so very much in love
All that day and night
Charney was my first love
Years later Jammer was our dog
Jammer was a black lab
Pure bread and happy as can be
Still Jammer was no Charney
When Jammer passed away
My heart broke apart
I wondered how love
Could so hurt my heart
I kept playing with the kitten
I was so very much in love
All that day and night
Charney was my first love
I am a big softy
Go from grumpy
Quickly to happy
I love to love you see
I kept playing with the kitten
I was so very much in love
All that day and night
Charney was my first love
I have lived with fish
And cohabitated with newts
Rabbits and hedgehogs
Even with a pair of small dogs
I love animals
I love plants
I love insects
I love spiders and ants
I love connecting with deer,
Coyotes, and raccoons
Bears, moose, ducks, and geese
Dolphins, whales, turtles at the beach
I kept playing with the kitten
I was so very much in love
All that day and night
Charney was my first love
I love the Divine beings
Filling our world
I love animals and people
They, boys, and girls
I kept playing with the kitten
I was so very much in love
All that day and night
Charney was my first love
True my mom and dad
We're my first loves
But outside of my family
Charney was my first love
