The Last Battle

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 the grief then stay your hand,
For this day more than all 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
And stay with me, if you can, to the end.
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 for me.
Although my tail its last was waved,
From pain and suffering I've been saved.

Don't grieve that 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.

Smile, for we walked together for a little while.

Cindy, Casey will always be part of your memory, but more than that, she will always be a part of your heart, as you will always be a part of hers.  She carries into heaven the memory of your kindness the day you rescued her, and the companionship & love you shared all these years.  Although your friend has vanished, she will remain beside you in spirit, and will eagerly be waiting with wagging tail to see her friend again. (While she waits, she will be playing with Reggie & Stevie like a pup again!)

I love you my friend, my heart is with you during your grief. 

Cathy
