Rainbow bridge story
http://www.indigo.org/rainbowbridge_ver2.htmlIf 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 stands the test.
We've had so many happy years, What is to come can hold no fears.
You'd not want me to suffer, so when the time comes, please let me go.
I know in time you too will see, It is a kindness you do for 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 decided this thing to do.
We've been so close, we two these years, don't let your heart hold any tears.
