My courageous friend looks different today
Eyes not so bright
Legs once strong and fast
Won’t lift him from his plight

Meals he used to gobble down
I must feed him by my hand
He used to be so strong
Now he barely stands

Ribbons won in conformation
His fur and body worn
In my heart a champion lives
A spirit ever more

He is my inspiration
My miracle my grace
The vets said he would not live long
But he proved them wrong
I treasure all the years

And none more precious than these moments now
He fights so hard to give

Stand by me in my darkest times
Pull me from the edge

Protect me from my fears
Stay with me when all is lost

Your spirit hope with me
Give me strength as I am scared to face the day when you must leave my side

I ask you one more time

Let me know when it is time to send you on your way

I will return in full the gentle love you gave to me all your 13 years

My heart is breaking

His time is running out

Please God look after him

He deserves the very best

The highlight of my life

And now to highlight Yours

He looks so sad when he has an accident
His embarrassment is clear
I am not angry with him,
Just so very scared

I must ask him one more time
To give his strength to me
To let me know when it is time
And to send him on his way

For 13 years he has been with me
The highlight of my life
I can’t imagine what it will be like
The day that he is gone

But I will not let him suffer
And promise to let him go
My heart is breaking
His time is running out

Please God look out for him
He deserves the very best
And thank you for sending Boris
