Rip Little Moses

Rest in peace little Moses, 
your job here is done.
In birdie years 
you had a good run.

Fly up to the heavens, 
free and with joy.
I'll miss your sweet song
my lovely, wee boy.

A joy you had been 
for many a year
and I'll miss you my friend,
a pet, oh so dear.

Goodbye little Moses, 
may God give you wing
to fly through the heavens 
and with angels sing.
