My 2 littlies and I have just buried Ming Ming, my 3 year old wanted to know when we would take him out of the hole

I explained things as best as i could, although we will never have Ming Ming again, im sure there will be more ducklings needing help down the track... hopefully there will never be one as ill as Ming ming my little baby x thanks again everyone its very comforting and i will be more comforting to those of you that have lost a ducky as now i know how it feels

I am so sorry!! i have found great comfort in the following, i hope you do too

Lend Me A Bird

"I will lend to you for a while a bird" God said, for you
to love him while he lives and mourn for him when he's dead.

Maybe for twelve or fourteen years or maybe two or three,
but will you til I call him back, take care of him for me?

he'll bring his charms to gladden you and should him stay be brief,
you'll always have him memories as solace for your grief.

I cannot promise that he'll stay since all from earth return,
but there are lessons taught below, I want this bird to learn.

I've looked the whole world over in search of teachers true,
and from the folds that crowded life's land I have chosen you.

Now will you give him all your love; not think the labor vain;
nor hate me when I come to take my lovely bird again?

I fancied that I heard them say, "Dear Lord, thy will be done,
for all the joys this bird will bring, the risk of grief we'll run."

Will you shelter him with tenderness? Will you love him while you may?
And for the happiness you will know, forever grateful stay?

But should I call him back much sooner than you've planned;
please brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand.

If by your love you've managed my wishes to achieve,
in memory of him you've loved; be thankful; do not grieve

Cherish every moment of your feathered charge. he filled your home with song of joy
for time he was alive. Let not him passing take from you those memories to enjoy

"I will lend to you a Bird" God said and teach you all you have to do
And when I call him back to heaven, you will know he loved you too

So very sorry for your loss

So many of us have lost a loved feathered friend and understand that sadness when we lose them. Ming Ming was sure loved and would not have had as much time as he did without the care and love he was given.

(Artsyrobin, thanks for sharing that nice poem.)

Sandcat,

You can have my poem I made when my favorite hen topsey II died. I will re-dedicate it to Ming Ming:

Ive Ran Out Of Tears

By Gabriel Mendoza

Growing up I have ran out of tears.
I have ran out because of so many fears
All my loved ones dying within those years
I can hear them all,still voices ringing in my ears

They have passed on,no more pain they are in
This world was enough,then end..fin
to paradise or heaven they did win
then end of all things,of flesh,of grief,of sin

I often wonder when would be my turn
to leave this place,to began a new learn
or come back here to live again,to return
to live this life again,in agony and burn

I lost a friend today but i didnt cry
she was so friendly,but she did die
its a little lonelier in this place
But no tear has rolled off my face
Goodbye Baby, you I'll never replace
And your face I'll never erase
And where you will go you will fly
Look,there are tears .......I did cry.

Re-dedicated to Ming Ming
