Your pain is so great... nothing left for me to do,
it's what I always knew,
with old age comes sorrow and death,
I'd give you my breath,
that would only be temporary.
Your agony sends night terrors to me,
nowhere to flee!
The terror sets in on you and I.
I can only cry,
but I know I need to say goodbye.
You will always be in my heart,
you will not die at the hospital but we will part,
met you too late in life,
our time was cut with a knife.
Those who abandoned you forgot you but I never will.
We rescued a Pomeranian a few years ago who was abandoned and has been amazing. Recently her legs are failing her, she has her good days and her bad days. We do everything we can for her but an operation is not guaranteed to leave her well. For her, this poem is dedicated to Anabelle.
