IF IT SHOULD BE ....
Author Unknown
If 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 the rest
Your love and friendship stand 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 will
see
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 it should 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.
