This is a very nice song I came across from one of my favourite teacher, Stuart Wilde' blog.
This song here is a very sweet, quirky song— a song sung by children about the Pole Shift, the lyrics are funny and eerie at the same time. Here they are:
“Song of the Innocents” (Album: Creation, Greenwood’s second Celtic Myth album)
Two suns high in the east
Snake bites Coma Berenice*
Flip flop the little kids say
Wilde tribe going their way...
Flip-flop losing the moon
Maybe happen real soon
Flip-flop the little kids sing
Watch now everything spin...
Two suns high in the east
Snake bites Coma Berenice*
Flip flop the little kids dance
Mannan’ Mac's** humming a trance...
Shine, shine having some fun
Snowman in noon day sun
Flip-flop the winter's here
Strange thing for the time of year
Waves rise high in the sky
Magic keeping us dry
Flip-flop the little kids dance
Mannan’ Mac's humming a trance
Splish-splash having some fun
Tick-tock coming undone
Splish-splash the little kids play
Grown-ups losing their way
Winds rush over our heads
All night, safe in our beds
Hip-hop the little kids dance
Mannan’ Mac's humming a trance
Shine, shine having some fun
Snowman in the noon day sun
Watch now the winter's here
Strange thing for the time of year
* Coma Bernice is a constellation in Leo. Its name means ‘Berenice's Hair’, and refers to the legend of Queen Berenice II of Egypt, who sacrificed her long hair.
**Mannan’ Mac’ is short for the Irish God Manannan Mac Lir, (sometimes written Lyr) from the mythical Tuatha De Dannan.
He was the ocean God that took the prince little Lugh away and trained him to come back and fight and defeat the evil forces of the Formorians, who were sometimes depicted as having the body of a man and the head of a goat, like Baphomet.
Mannan’ Mac’ was a teacher of small children that is why the children sing about him with glee in the song. (sw)

Saying Goodbye to Your Angel Animals - Pet Loss Meditations- Beliefnet.com
SayRemembering honors your life and heals my spirit. Remembering creates appreciation and gratitude--two of the most wondrous salves for my secret sorrows.
I know that grief will have its day. I give myself permission to heal the wounds with remembrance of you.
What do I remember most about you?
Why am I remembering this today?
How will my memories of you help me to heal?
I was honored to be present as you left your physical body. It takes courage to remember what it was like to be with you in your final moments. These painful memories of your death may become my greatest healing agent.
I imagine that at your death, your spirit leaped out of your body. I see you now--released and living happily without pain or suffering.
What do I remember about seeing you die?
What could I see spiritually that did not appear physically?
The details of what I remember about you will become stepping-stones across my stream of grief. I remember your unique personality, intelligence, and quirky ways. I vividly recall both the highs and lows of our relationship. I even remember the special foods you loved and how much you enjoyed treats. I still feel you sleeping close to me and all the comfort that your nearness brought to my nights.
I rejoice in and accept that whatever memories float to the surface are worthy of my attention, no matter how trivial they may seem to be. The daily routines and rituals we shared will be exactly what I need to recall for restoring myself.
There is a song that always makes me think of you. The words to this song express how you made me feel and what you brought into my life.
I like to sing that song out loud or in my mind and think of you. I see your face as I listen to and sing our song. While I relax into the music, I remember how special you were. The song that was our life together will never die.
My dear departed companion, you have reminded me that we are all connected by a golden thread of love that weaves invisibly through life’s fabric.
I will now gently think about your purpose in my life.
How did you make me feel connected to all life?
Why were you with me during this phase of my life?
Has some other cycle ended that coincides with your passing?
I need family members and caring friends talking and listening to me about your love and devotion to me and to them. I will get their testimonials in writing and record them in my heart.
What support am I grateful to receive as I mourn the loss of you?
Your animal family misses you. We all need time to grieve. I am watching the reactions of our other pets to your loss. Sometimes I am reminded of my own ways of handling grief.
I will talk to the rest of our animal family and tell them how you died. I will bring images to mind that will reassure them and myself that you are okay now.
What can I say and do to help your animal friends adjust to your absence?
You filled many of my physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual needs. I felt like a complete person with you nearby.
I must fill the holes left by your loss. I need to satisfy in other ways the roles you played as my caretaker, child, and best friend.
How will I fill the needs that you used to take care of for me so I can stop feeling so empty?
I remember those times when you caused me to laugh. Because of your playfulness and how you coaxed me into having fun, you added humorous dimensions to my life.
Your ability to turn everyday objects into toys and to get me to play with you reminded me that having fun is essential for a joyful life.
At which times during the day, when I tend to feel especially tense, could I remember what you taught me about play and keeping my sense of humor?

From the Horse, let me learn strength and freedom.
And from the Dog, let me learn faithfulness, courage,

A PET'S TEN COMMANDMENTS
A PET’S TEN COMMANDMENTS
1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful.
2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.
3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.
4. Don’t be angry with me for long and don’t lock me up as punishment. you have your work,
your friends, your entertainment, but I have only you.
5. Talk to me. Even if I don’t understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.
6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.
7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you.
8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I’m not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak.
9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old.
10. On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can’t bear to watch.
Don’t make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so.
Take a moment today to thank God for your pets. Enjoy and take good care of them. Life would be a much duller, less joyful experience without God’s critters.
