As I pack you up into the truck we go
Down the road to that place we know
Down the hill up the hill is where it is
We pull in here I come for you
We step out of the truck into that place
The place we been to many time before
The place where this time you will not come back
For today I put you to sleep but never forget
Here comes the paper work and the fee
Into this room we walk the door closes behind us
Into the room she come looking sad herself
With her are a band, a bottle and that needle
As she puts the band just above the elbow
She looks at me and asks but one thing
Have you ever done this before
As I tried to find the words I said no
She told me step by step but I still was in that dream
As the fluid goes into your body and though your veins
Your head drops into my hand slowly I place your head down
Talking and touching you till it was all over
She looks at me and says it is done as you let a breath out
This was your last breath you took before the forever sleep
Do you want more time with him I want him back
She takes you away and out the door I go
For this will not be your final resting place
You will be home with us once again
A few days later here I come for you one more time
When you were born you were no bigger then my hand
Now 19 years later and a long life you once again come back
You come back to us again not being much bigger then my hand
For your soul flies free up above us for you are home to stay
No more pain, no more hurt you are forever free
You are forever more with us to stay
In a white box is where your ashes are and will be for years to come
For we will never forget you and we will always love you
