If fear wasn’t so strong
I think I would take off
For a little trip
On an island somewhere
All alone away from all
The visit with Al
Was too much to bear
His pain was at an all
Time high his cries
Never stopped and it
Was breaking my heart
I was told he has
Lost seven pounds this week
And this caused
My heart to race
And it felt like it skipped beats
I helped him all I could
But I ended up doing no good
I cried with him for
The first time today
Our hearts were joined
In searing pain holding
Onto life with trembling hope
I helped him to lie down
After lunch and then the potty
His crying never stopped
As he told me words
That I understood
Please Terry take me home
I want to be with you
I choked and trembled
As he shook my roots of strength
I sat down on the bed
Beside him and grabbed
His hands placing them in mine
I told him that I promised
I was working as fast as I can
That I would have him back
Where he belonged
Then he looked at me one more time
And I could barely hear
The words he strained to tell me
Please don’t let me die in here………….
