If it should be I grow frail & weak
And pain prevents my peaceful sleep.
Then you must do what must be done
When this last battle can't be won.
You will be sad, I understand.
But don't let grief then stay you hand
for on this day, more than the rest
Your love & friendship must stand the test.
We've had so many happy years
That's what's 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 until the end.
Hold me firm & speak to me.
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know, in time, you, too will see
It is kindness that you do for me
Although my tail its last has waved
From pain & 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
Don't let your heart hold any tears.
