An Animals Prayer


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, cant be won.

Dont let grief stay your hand
For this day, more than rest
Your love and friendship stand the test.
Weve had so many happy years.

What is to come can hold no fear,
Youd not want me to suffer, so
When the time comes, please let me go.

Take me where my needs theyll tend,
Only, stay with me to the end.
And 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 has waved
From pain and suffering, Ive been saved.

Dont grieve, it should be you,
Who this thing decides to do.
Weve been so close, we two, these years,
Dont let your heart hold any tears.
