You're giving me a special gift,
so sorrowfully endowed,
And
through these last few cherished days,
your courage makes me proud.
But really, love is knowing
when your best friend
is in pain,
And understanding earthly acts
will only be in vain.
So looking deep into your eyes,
beyond into your
soul,
I see in you the magic that
will once more make me whole.
The strength that you possess
is why I look to you today,
To
do this thing that must be done,
for it's the only way.
That strength is why I've followed you
and chose you as my
friend,
And why I've loved you all these years...
my partner till the end.
Please understand just what this gift
you're giving means
to me,
It gives me back the strength I've lost
and all my dignity.
You take a stand on my behalf,
for that is
what friends do,
And know that what you do is right.
For I believe it too.
So one last time I breathe your scent
and through your hand
I feel,
The courage that's within you to
now grant me this appeal.
Cut the leash that holds me here,
dear friend
and let me run,
Once more a strong and steady dog,
my pain and struggle done.
And don't despair my passing,
for I won't be far away,
Forever
here within your heart
and memory I'll stay.
I'll be watching over you,
your ever faithful friend,
And in your
memories I'll run,
a young dog once again.
