Analysis of Absolute Charm



(A Tribute To A Great Race Horse)

Your Charm over took us all in a way
My thoughts of you come each day
Your Spirit they could not take away

Now you run in great places everyday

Your will no one could ever possess
Your courage was put to the test
Your body will now be laid to rest

You are running in great races yet

With us as a team we won four
It seemed each time we run we would score
But those days are gone now they'll be no more
When at last I'll see you as I reach heaven's door

And great races we'll run once more

Someday I will see you again
In my heart you will stay until then
I will remember with fondness of the
days that had been

And we will run in great races again
