    I am so sorry for your loss, she was so beautiful, at least she is free from pain now. I hope your memories bring you comfort.
    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.

    Lovely poem.
    As surely as night follows day capitalism will come crumbling down. On a mission to secure a just and ethical society.
  • It's lovely to see so many people helping one another and sending their heartfelt thoughts over your loss. The poems that have been posted are beautiful (as is the photo of Akira) and the messages left show how great these forums can be as a source of comfort as well as help. So sorry for your loss.
