A Pets Prayer

[minks]

I am starting this for Fuzzy, but it's for anyone who has or will have to say good buy to their beloved pet or pets.



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 hand,

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 is a kindness you do to me

Although my tail its last has waved

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.

Thank You Minks! That was sweet of you. :-4 I'm going to print that out.

Pets have the purest kind of love.

Oh minks, I loved Toby (my dog) so much, we had to do what was best for him 8 years ago... I couldn't face being with him at the end, so my dad was there for him. That poem was so beautifull. :-4:-1

I had to have euthanasia done on my dog two weeks ago. :-1 I held him in my hands and assured him that he would meet up with our other pets and live pain free. He looked me in the eyes, gave a little wag and feel deeply asleep. I sure do miss him.


Idgie sorry to hear about your doggy. :-1

they bring us so much joy,we don't want to let them go.even when we know it will put them out of pain ,it still breaks our heart.
