This peom has helped me make sense of things in the past.........

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 must be done, For this last battle cannot 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 need they'll tend, And please stay with me till 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 did 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 had this painful thing to do.

We've been so close, we two, these years; Don't let your heart hold back its tears.

this poem in particular I think is the hardest one to read. But it is very appropriate. As much as it's hard to read it makes so much sense and, I suppose, help many people cope with the loss of a pet.

Any one who has had to 'stay' with a pet while it goes to sleep for the last time must break their heart reading this recent poem - the tears are blinding me.

But it is so appropriate.
