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, you wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, 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 of Cooper
August 7, 1991 - November 8, 2008
You'll be in our hearts forever .
This picture was taken of me when I lived at the shelter before I was adopted at the age of 13.
When my dad's mother died, her cats came to live with us. It took us a while to get to know each other, but we're real good friends now. I love my brothers. Rusty is the same age I am and Smokey is 10. Here are their pictures:
Rusty passed away on January 20, 2008 of renal failure. We'll miss him.
