Heart soon to stop,
Taking precious breaths,
On borrowed time,
They’re standing over my bed,
Asking for a last request
No last rites
No words of wisdom.

All I want to say,
Is that I just want you to take me home,
Sweep me away in my last hours,
To where we began,
Family has been there my whole life,
But there will never be enough time with you it seems.

Wrap yourself around me,
Call me baby,
My little paw in yours,
Make me dream the way you used to,
With a sparkle in my eye,
Make believe that I will live forever,
Like a character in one of your stories.

A kiss on the nose,
Just hold me when it’s time drift away,
Telling me ‘mucho, mucho, mucho’,
Whispering to me that everything is going to be okay.

Just take me home,
Which is anywhere you are.
