Whispers of a tired night Where owls are out to play
Stars feebly shining bright And the Happy Hunting Ground
is only a few steps away
I hear him running the buzz of tiny padded
feet slapping the ground so fast that the sounds
run together
And his black eyes are smiling as he watches over
me Knowing my every thought
Angels and friends there may be but none can
feel me and know my pain like him
And the soil breathes a sigh of relief, knowing
that i love it
We were not made for this world
We only visit here for a while I hope my
stay doesn’t hurt too long May I go?
I know some may miss me And some will
lament my plight And some will believe that i
gave up the fight Others will wipe away
tears of grief and say i’ve finally found relief
That i’ve gone on to a better place
Where joy is on my face And pains are finally
erased But they will not know Unless
they also believe and go And follow him
And follow me
To Harry’s Happy Hunting Ground.
