The first day of the rest of our life
For which with you the best summing up
Is pain, joy, love, a little strife
But love always anyway – you’re nice
I don’t need being told that twice.
The vet could not have been more sympathetic
The kidney failure being quite advanced
The food ingested would become emetic...
I’m only cheerful cos I’m here
In a room with you
Your sleeping breath is soft and dear...
