Here is a very touching poem - I was in tears reading it

IF IT SHOULD BE

If it should be that I grow weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep
Then you must do what you 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 to let me go

Take me where my needs they’ll tend
And please stay with me until the end
Hold me firm 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 tail its last has waved
From pain and suffering I’ve been saved

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
 
awww :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: they used to have that poem at the vets in the back room. I can remember sitting there reading it while holding my ratty Splodge who had to be pts. The vets let me sit in the back room with him and hold him after the injection. I was reading the poem crying my eyes out for ages while my little man slipped away. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: so sad :cry:
 
Carys....the poem is beautiful and touching and now I am crying. Would you mind if I took the words to use myself?
