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. SNB 2003 [Posted in FML 6540]
