"I give thanks to you, small friend,
For the time we shared together.
I give thanks for the touch of your soft fur,
Your shining eyes, kisses from your rough tongue."
"I give thanks for the sound of your voice.
Go now to your rest.
I will miss you, my friend,
As you travel on your way."
"But I know that someday, somewhere,
If the gods will it, We will meet again;
And the meeting will be one of love.
May the blessings of the Lord and the Lady
Be with you as you travel on your way!
Know that my love and blessings go with you
As you travel to the Land of Eternal Summer.
Blessed Be!"
"Let us be bound together in love,
That we may merry meet again!
Blessed Be!"
