If It Should Be ........

´´FOR DELLA´S MAN´´
Della was a much loved, beautiful GSD bitch whose owner,because of her incurable illness, had to make the heartbreaking decision to have her put to sleep to save further suffering.

If it should be l grow frail and weak
and pain should wake me from my sleep
Then you must do what must be done
For this last battle can´t be won.
..........................................................
You will be sad -l understand-
Don´t let your grief then stay your hand
For this day more than all the rest
Your love and friendship stand the test.
............................................................
We´ve had so many happy years
What is to come will 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 ´till the end
Hold me firm and speak to me
Untill my eyes no longer see
.................................................................
I know in time you to will see
It is a kindness you do to me
Although my tail it´s last has waved
From pain and suffering i´ve been saved
....................................................................
Do not grieve that it should be you
Who has to decide this thing to do
We´ve been so close-we two-these years
Dont let your heart hold any tears.

Bach & Offenbach.
