TO EACH COMES A TIME OF BEAUTIFUL AND LASTING PEACE
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 battle can't be won.
You will be sad I understand,
don't let your grief then stay your hand.
For this day more than all the rest,
your love and friendship stands the test.
We've had so many happy years,
what is to come can hold no fears.
Would you want me to suffer?
So when the time comes let me go
and take me where my needs they'll tend,
only stay with me unto the end
and hold me firm and speak to me
until my eyes no longer see:
it's kindness that you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
from pain and suffering I've been saved.
Do not grieve it should be you
who must decide this thing to do.
We've been so close we two these years.
