Last night we had to let you go,
it was so hard for us to do.
But your injury was too extreme,
nothing could be done for you.
I came home from work,
mom found you on the floor.
She noticed you couldn’t walk,
couldn’t use your back legs anymore.
I quickly called the Doc,
I told him what we found.
He said he’d meet me at the hospital,
you didn’t make a sound.
You and I arrived before Doc did,
I had a key to the place.
So I unlocked the door and went in,
I remember your scared little face.
I layed you on the table,
you trembled with much fear.
Yet you were brave enough to purr,
as I whispered in your ear….
“We love you Einstein,
Your such a good boy.
Even though your only 6 months old,
you’ve brought us so much joy.”
Then Doc arrived,
he examined you with care.
He said your back had been broken,
and then he showed me where.
A few minutes later,
mom walked through the door.
I told her what had happened,
Then the tears began to pour.
Then we made a decision,
so you would have no pain.
To send you to a better place,
where you’d be restored again.
We will never forget,
the last minutes you lived.
Your purring never stopped,
until your little heart did.
We love you Einstein,
with all our heart.
Someday we’ll be together,
and never again apart.
