If it should be that I grow weak And pain should stop me from my sleep Then you must do what must be done For this 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 all the rest Your love for me must 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 The time has come, please let me go. Take me where my needs they'll tend And please stay with me until the end Hold me close and speak to me Until my eyes no longer see. I know in time that you will see The kindness that you do for me Although my mind has had it's last thought From pain and suffering I've now been brought. Please do not grieve it must be you Who has this painful thing to do We've been so close we two these years Don't let your heart hold back the tears.. ------------------ You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give. [This message has been edited by RainbowGirl (edited 09-19-99).] |

Thanks, I actually wrote this for my cat, Kara, when she was suffering from kidney failure...she was 23 and had been with me since a few months old...it may sound strange but we were really close and on the day I made the decision, she was almost lifeless...I cried all the way to the surgery and as we left the car and walked the sort distance, she perked up, acted like a normal cat...curious, alert...it was as though she was saying, "don't do this mum"...but the vet said it was right...one of the saddest moments of my life... ------------------ You give but little when you give of your possessions.

It's always such a hard decision, in some little way it's scary to have the power of God. I've hated having to put my animals down too, but the end to their suffering is the greatest gift we can give them.. ------------------ Words that enlighten the soul are more precious than jewels. ~Isis~ |

Isis: I agree, it was extremely sad but likewise I knew it was an end to her pain, but I guess sometimes you try to kid yourself that they'll be ok when really you know in your heart that they won't be...

Rainbow, This is a very beautiful piece of poetry, Just today I lost my "baby", Smudge who I had rescued when he was 5 days old... Two weeks ago he started to have seizures and he wasn't getting any better... He went to heaven today while lying in my arms... Smudge- July 1,1999 till Sept. 20,1999 May he rest in piece in the arms of god for he was the sweetest of kittens... My heart has broken 100 times over today...... |

Hello rainbow!! Your piece touched my heart as well as My dear friend and her beautiful daughter Morgan.Today we had to comfort Smugde the kitten as his soul was passing from this world to another.He was but a wee little kitten With the hopes of beoming my kitten, with an all pure white coat with a bit of black just smudging his head . ------------------ Helewes |
