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.
