I woke up this morning with one of the saddest songs ever, playing in my head - no idea why, as I can't find a reason the topic would have come up. Anyway, it's a song about a family's pet dog. Here are the lyrics, and a link to it on youtube, because the music adds so much more than just reading the words. I actually cried listening to it this morning...
Shannon - Henry Gross
Another day is at end
Mama says she's tired again
No one can even begin to tell her
I hardly know what to say
But maybe it's better that way
If papa were here I'm sure he'd tell her
Shannon is gone I hope she's drifting out to sea
She always loved to swim away
Maybe she'll find an island with a shady tree
Just like the one in our backyard
Mama tries hard to pretend
things would get better again
Somehow she's keeping it all inside her
But finally the tears fill our eyes
And I know that somewhere tonight
She knows how much we really miss her
Shannon is gone I hope she's drifting out to sea
She always loved to swim away
Maybe she'll find an island with a shady tree
Just like the one in our backyard
Just like the one in our backyard
