The time has come, my dear friend
To stop my suffering,and put it to an end
I will be grateful for this choice
I will miss you terribly and miss the sound of your voice
I loved you unconditionally and you loved me back
You made me so happy there was not anything did you lack
Please wipe those tears from your saddened face
I have conquered many obstacles, but finally lost this race
You will be doing me a favor, you have to let me go
I love you so much, but this you already know
Remember how I used to snuggle with you warm in your bed
And the times we lounged together while you scratched my head
The times how you were always there when you took me to the vet
And especially the time when we first met
But now it is time for us to part
I will always be with you deep in your heart
I know this is difficult for you to decide
But let me go quickly and still have my pride
I know I was loved, and will be terribly missed
But now is the time, so let me give you one last kiss
Just hold me close as I slip away
I am so sorry it had to be this way
When your time comes, I will be there
At Rainbow Bridge we will have a lifetime to share
