"The Last Battle": A Poem of Love and Compassion
"The Last Battle" beautifully portrays the profound love and compassion we have for our dogs, especially during their final moments. The poem delicately addresses the inevitable battle our furry friends face as they grow frail and weak, assuring them that they won't endure pain and suffering.
The Last Battle (Text)
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,
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 until 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.
As dog owners, we often find ourselves making difficult decisions on behalf of our beloved companions. The poem acknowledges the deep sadness that accompanies these choices but urges us to put our dogs' well-being first, granting them peace and freedom from suffering.
