On the Way to Charley's World of Lost Art Near Winterhaven, CA: The Pet Cemetery

Eric follows precise instructions

along dirt roads in search of

Charley's World of Lost Art.

The Pet Cemetery is one of the listed landmarks for this drive.

We pull off the road to visit

a Pet Cemetery.

The rocks on both sides of

the car mark the graves.

The condition of the signs

shows the Cemetery has

been here for years.

The weathered sign on the left says:

Goodbye old friend

You’ll be in my heart forever.

They will not go quietly

The pets who loved shared our lives.

In subtle ways they let us know

The spirit still survives.

Old habits still make us think

We hear a scratching at the door

Or step back when we

Drop a tasty morsel on the floor.

Our feet still go around the place

The food dish used to be.

And sometimes coming home at night

We miss them terribly.

And though time may bring new friends

And a new food dish to fill

One place in our hearts

Belongs to them

And always will.

Eric spreads his arms wide as

he looks at the many graves.
