Sherman by Norma Lane / Sherman’s Mom

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray Thee Lord my pet to keep.
Keep him safe and let him rest,
Afterall, he does deserve the best.

If he is hungry, keep him fed.
He always loved a soft, soft bed.
His needs I can no longer meet,
It never was an easy feat..

I did the best that I could do,
The care he needs is up to You.
I trust and know that You will find,
He is a very special kind.

He lived and loved and really cared
for precious times that we two shared.
My heart is aching, I’m so sad
I even miss when he was bad.

There is a part of me, I know
That did not want to let him go.
I think I knew right from the start
He owned me and won my heart.

Let him know I love him so,
True love just means letting go
He was so sick and in such pain
I know You made him well again
