while cleaning out a drawer today. It moved me to tears thinking of all my buds down through the years who I have had to offer the ultimate kindness to. Thought I would share:
If It Should Be
If it shoud be that I grow weak
and pain should keep me from my sleep
Then you must do what must be done
For this last battle can't be won.
You'll be sad, I understand
Don't let this grief stay your hand
For this day, more than the rest
Your love for me must stand the test.
We've had so many happy years
What is to come can hold no fears.
You'd not want me to suffer so
The time has come, please let me go.
Take me where my needs they'll tend
And please stay with me to the end.
Hold me firm and speak with me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time that you will see
The kindness that you did for me.
Although my tail its last has waved
From pain and suffering I've been saved.
Please do not grieve, it must be you,
Who has this painful thing to do.
We've been so close, we two, these years
Don't let your heart hold back its tears. Author Unknown
