Den fik tårerne frem... {{forumTopicSubject}}

Ja alle der har stået i den situation at skulle sige farvel til sine kæreste dyr, kender jo fornemmelsen. Jeg sagde selv farvel til min gamle hund i sommers, og nu faldt jeg over dette digt, som bare siger alt!

If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain does keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done
For this, the last battle can´t be won.

You will be sad - I understand.
But don´t let grief then stay your hand.
For on this day, more than all the rest,
Your love and friendship, 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,
When the time comes, please let me go.

Take me where my needs they´ll tend,
Only, stay with me until the end.
and hold me firm and speak to me,
Until my eyes no longer see.

I know, in time, you too, will agree,
It is a kindness, you do to me.
Although my tail, its last has waved,
From pain and suffring I´ve been saved.

Don´t grieve that it must now be you,
Who has to decide this thing to do.
We´ve been so close - we two - these years,
don´t let your heart hold any tears.
