Perfectly Still
Now she lays perfectly still
Nothing done at her own will
Curled up in a little ball
She can't speak at all
We've watched her all the way
With her we'd cry and pray
Hoping some day this will all end
We could act like it was just pretend
That's something we can only wish
As we give her the final kiss
We never know when we'll part
Makes it hard to know where to start
God I hope you will forgive
But please don't let her live!
