Pet Loss Poem: The Last Battle


The Last Battle

If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain should 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 the rest,
Your love and friendship must stand the test.

We have had so many happy years,
Through happiness, laughter, sadness and tears.
You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, just let me go.

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

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

Don't grieve that it must 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.

In Loving Memory



It is so important to support a friend who is grieving over the loss of a furry family member. Please be there for them and encourage them however you can. Send a free pet sympathy ecard, light a virtual candle or buy them an inspiring book or some other pet loss gift.

And most importantly, listen to them. Many suffer in silence. Don't let that happen to your grieving friend.
