~The Last Battle~

~My first post will be in Loving Memory of my dear "brother", shared with you by request of my father that laid to rest his best-friend a week ago today.

  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 but 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,

You wouldn't want me to suffer so,

When the time comes

Please let me go.

Take me to where my needs they'll tend,

Only stay with me til 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.

~Monjiidek, you were a true gift from our Creator, sent down to assist in our Father's recovery.  You will always be remembered for your loyal service, and unconditional love.  Our hearts feel comfort knowing that you are resting in the place that you enjoyed the most while on this Earth, and we know that you are happy and healed, and waiting patiently---filling your time with endless rounds of catching frisbees and games of fetch---until we meet again.  Baamaapii Gawaabmin, Gzaagin Bazgim xxoo
