IF I SHOULD GROW FRAIL If it should be that I grow frail and weak And pain does keep me from my sleep, Then will you do what must be done for this - the last battle -can't be won. You will be sad I understand But don't let grief then stay your hand. For on this day, more than the rest Your love and friendship must stand the test. We have had so many happy years, You wouldn't want me to suffer so. When the time comes, please, let me go. Take me to where my needs they'll tend, Only, stay with me till the end. And hold me firm and speak to me Until my eyes no longer see. I know in time you will agree It is a kindness you do to me. Although my tail its last has waved, From pain and suffering I have been saved. Don't grieve that it must now be you Who has to decide this thing to do. We've been so close - we two -these years, Don't let your heart hold any tears. (author unknown)  |

That is so sad but it also helps you to understand you have done the right thing.... It doesn't stop me feeling choked when I read it though |

My vet has a discreet copy of this in a frame on the window-sill in the waiting room with a little sweet pic of a dog and a cat. I'm not sure I'd want to see it exactly at that moment if I knew I was taking a loved pet in for the last time but i'm sure it helps some - even by letting the tears flow. |

I think it's a lovely poem and it does have me choked up each time I read it, as does the Rainbow Bridge. They are both bittersweet, but comforting. |
