If It Should Be If it should be that I grow frail and weak And pain should keep me from my sleep Then you must do what must be done For this, the last battle, can't be won. You will be sad - I 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 can hold no fears You'd want me not to suffer, so When the time comes, please let me go. I know in time you too will see It is kindness you do to me Although my tail it's last has waved From pain and suffering I've been saved. Don't grieve that it should 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. Author Unknown SPCA UK
