four little paws
Alpha Buck
We have all at some time in our lives had to make the terrible choice on whether to let our beloved fur babies go....whether they be rabbits, cats,dogs ect
I have found this poem that may make you feel a little better about what you had to decide............
You're giving me a special gift
So sorrowfully endowed,
And through these last cherish days
Your courage makes me proud,
But really love is knowing
When your best friend is in pain,
And understanding earthly acts
Will only be in vain,
So looking deep into your eyes
Beyond into your soul,
I see in you a magic that will
Once more make me whole,
The strength that you possess
Is why I look to you today,
To do this thing that must be done
For it's the only way,
That strength is why I followed you
And chose you as my friend,
And why I've loved you all these years
My best friend to the end,
Please understand just what this gift
You're giving means to me,
It gives me back the strength I've lost
And all my dignity,
You take a stand on my behalf
For that is what friends do,
You know that what you do is right
For I believe it too,
So one last time I breathe your scent
And through your hand I feel,
The courage that's within you
To grant me this appeal,
Cut the leash that holds me here
Dear friend and let me run,
Once more a strong and steady pet
My pain and struggle done,
And don't despair my passing
For I won't be far away,
Forever here within your heart
And memory I will stay,
I'll be watching over you
Your ever faithful friend,
And in your memories I'll run
A young pet once again.
I don't know who wrote this poem......but I do know they felt the loss of a much loved pet.
