A little girl stares out A window streaked with rain. Uncertainty shows on her face; Her eyes are filled with pain. Her best friend lies crying In pain she can't describe. Is it worth trying to save her? Or shall she take a loved ones life. Selfishly she wants to hold on tight And never let her friend go. But deep inside she knows whats right For different reasons still unknown. Gently she lifts her friend up And sets her softly in the car This may be her longest drive Though the hospital isn't far. Talking cheerfully to her champion She gently strokes her head And talks of how she'll feel better And of the brighter days up ahead. Carrying her slowly down a hallway She speaks of days gone by Setting her friend down on a table She fights hard not to cry. Holding her paw, stroking her head She looks into trusting eyes of blue Kisses her Husky softly on the nose And whispers I love you. Just a quick prick with a needle The vet is done and quietly leaves She hugs her friend tightly Watching her drift into an endless sleep. Knowing she'll hurt no more Doesn't ease the ache inside Letting her tears fall free She says a final goodbye. MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU, MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK MAY THE SUN SHINE UPON YOUR FACE THE RAINS FALL SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS AND, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN, MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND Irish Blessing |

You have captured the element of love between human being and animal so well in this poem. Your writing is fabulous and very touching. Brought tears to my eyes just imagining what this situation must feel like. I've given away pet's which is also hard, but I don't think quite as hard as saying that final goodbye. |

This is truly an expression of love for your dog. I have gone through this terrible experience so many times, as I have housed 12 cats and 3 dogs at one time. I have deeply loved each one and when the time comes to make this decision it is truly a painful one. We must be glad for the suffering we are eliminating from a precious life. This brought tears to my eyes and reminded me of past experiences and future ones ahead. BEAUTIFUL. ...the earth and myself are of one mind. The measure of the land and the measure of our bodies are the same........... Joseph, Nez Perce Chief |

I'm sorry Angel. Jewel is without pain now. May your roof never fall in and those beneath it never fall out. Irish proverb. |
