My little girl is not okay. She has a sarcoma on her heart and cancer all throughout her body. We are scheduled for radiation Monday morning, but she’s lost five pounds since Tuesday, and that’s 10% of her body weight. I don’t even know if she’d be able to survive the procedure. She feels so far away, and I can tell she knows the end is near. But she’s been so brave, because she doesn’t know any other way to be.

I wasn’t with my childhood dog when they put him down, and that’s haunted me for the last nine years. But Daisy, I’ll hold her to the end. Every day from here is a gift - I love you, Daisy. You’ve done so well. So well. Dad’s got you. He’s always here to take care of you.

I only want to say
If there is a way
Don’t take this pup
Away from me
For I don’t want to
Say goodbye yet
It’s too early
She’s not eight
She’s not that old
She’s barely started

When she first arrived
I was so inspired
Listen, surely she’s exceeded
Expectations
My little gollie
Daisy Bearface
Could you please come back
For her another time?

God, if she dies
What does that improve?
What does that achieve?
Earth’s a far far better place
With Daisy, you’d agree?

I wanna know
Wanna know, my God
I wanna know
Wanna know my God

Wanna see,
I wanna see, My God,
Wanna see,
I wanna see, my God

Why she should die
She doesn’t deserve this
She deserves a whole lot more
What she deserves and what she gets
Aren’t the same thing
Anymore

I have to know
Have to know, my Lord
I have to know
Have to know my Lord

Have to see,
I have to see, My Lord,
Have to see,
I have to see, my Lord

When she dies,
You have to see her home
When she dies
You can’t leave her alone
I have to know
Have to know my Lord
Have to know,
Have to know,
My Lord

Why should she die?
Oh why should she die?
Please don’t take her now
Please, just not today
Here endeth the lesson
‘Nothing gold can stay.’
Show me there’s a reason
For you wanting her to die
I get it Lord, you want a dog
But why do you need mine?

No. She’s fine.
Just watch, she’ll be fine.
Leave her, she’s mine
Leave her, she’s mine

Then, we were inspired
Now, we’re sad and tired
After all, we’ve had these eight years
Seems like nothing
Why then do you need to take her
Right away now?
You don’t, do you?
That never stops you

God, thy will is hard
But you hold every card
She will drink your cup of poison
Mum and Dad are here, my Daisy
Please, please please please please don’t
Take her now
Please give a bit more time, God
A little bit more time
