The wording in the picture says:
The Last Goodbyes
As you hold them in your arms
And say your last good-byes
Look close into the fading light
that flickers in their eyes
They are not afraid
because they know when a sparrow falls
she falls into the hands of God
all creatures great and small
They don't live as long as humans do
this too is a part of God's plan
for animals are God's angels
to be there for you when he can't
God's gift is that you can love many
when your pet has time for only one
you can give love and happiness to the strays...
who without you would have none.
So lay your friends to rest, lift up your hearts
dry your tears, for it is told
death is but a passage into the hands of God,
through the gates of gold
Somewhere others need you
in shelters, or wandering the streets
they want nothing more from life
than to lay down at your feet
It is time to give another life
the love only you can give
we are the caretakers of God creatures
for not to love... is not to live
