When we knew we were going to lose our first ferret - Modo, our
daughter wrote this for him:

Silently Still
(/Modo speaking/)

The time has come
(/sleep, sleep silently still/)
I'm sorry.  I have to do this...
(/my time has come, I can't go on/)
I'm crying, you know.  These are my tears...
(/sleep, sleep silently still/)
I wish I didn't have to do this...
(/my time has come, I can't go on/)
You are sick.  And...you are not getting better.
(/Ever?  I'm not getting better?/)
Never.  You won't get better.
(/Never. I'll never be better/...)
I hate to see you suffer...
(/I'm in pain.  If you love me stop the pain/)
I love you...
(/then stop the pain/)
I will...
(/stop the pain/...)
Goodbye...Remember I love you...
(/sleep, sleep silently still/)
(/I can't go on, my time has come/)
(/sleep, sleep silently still./..)
(/my time has come/...)
Goodbye.
