Lord, when the time comes please help me be strong,
My Feathered friend is sick; something's terribly wrong.

The vet checked her over; there's nothing he can do ...
I'm afraid soon I'll be sending her; home to You

Please take her back home; on the wings of a dove
Into Your loving arms; up in heaven above.

Please take her to a meadow; where she can play and run free,
Under bright sunlight; among the green grass and trees

Please give me the courage; to tell her good-bye,
as I know she'll watch over me; through her loving eyes.

I'll never forget her; I'll see her one day,
Tell her we'll meet at the Bridge; then we'll go play.

I'll cherish the memories; of the time we both had,
They'll put a smile on my face; then I won't feel as bad.
