This tribute is for my brother’s dog who willed himself to death to be with my brother.
If it should be
that I grow frail and weak
And pain should keep me
from my sleep
Then you must do what
must be done
For this,the last battle
can’t be won.
You will be sad
I understand
don’t let your grief
Then stay your hands
for this day
more than the rest
Your love and friendship
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
When the time comes
please let me go.
Take me where
my needs they’ll tend
ONLY STAY WITH ME TO THE END
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will see
It’s kindness you do to me
From pain and suffering
I’ve been saved.
Don’t grieve it should be you
Who decides this thing to do
We’ve been so close
we two,these years
Don’t let your heart
hold any tears.
Smile for we walked together
for a little while.
