In the night I screamed,
as you were pale, Pained you slept
in gown of white, Waking, your
heart withered, sad, near gone,
Oh Captain, dear Captain, Who,
Was so my teacher, who gave,
Who listened and judged little,
From the fishing, to the lawn,
To the trips in a minivan, yet,
Never again was the world free
Captain, my Captain, you rest as the ash,
but alone, you are not – you were but the
first of many. Oh, Captain, I feel so old now. Another death,
means so little, even my own. My bretheren, my ancestors, my
furry companions, one by one suffer, oh suffer, and die. Days go,
my turn? Maybe not, maybe so. I don’t know much more. Oh, Oh,
my Captain, I am lost, and I have lost what speck of time I have, all
all without knowing where to go. oh captain, I feel it at last…captain

I see now...
I wasn't wrong.
I did leave this mortal plane
So many years ago.

But...why am I still here?
That is...no, was...
A question that haunted me for the longest time.

But it's clear now.
You gave your all to save my soul
And though it wasn't enough to save my body
I've been here
I've been here all along.

Unbeknownst to everyone
Even you
Though I tried.

But why does that matter now?
It's my turn now
One purpose
One for the exchange of another.

The salvation of my savior
It is all I can do
So let me give what remains of me
To you.
