Casper, please stay here longer if you can.
Many too-sad heart tears have left us dry.
Kitten, sixteen years is too short a span.
Dear cat, command your illnesses soon depart.
Slight hopes made us wonder, “Well? Dare we try?”
Casper, please stay here longer if you can.
Be well, and keep us both within your heart.
Please do not leave us ’til far by and by.
Kitten, sixteen years is too short a span.
Time comes for life to end and void to start.
Delay your death; try not to make us cry.
Casper, please stay here longer if you can.
Your mews sing out; as if written by Mozart.
We beg of you; avoid that empty dark sky.
Kitten, sixteen years is too short a span.
If suffering, staying would not be smart.
Must we soon euthanize and say goodbye?
Casper, please stay here longer if you can.
Kitten, sixteen years is too short a span.
