She's Dying I Am Crying

Why must she die? 
How many times can you suffer from a broken heart? 
I try to take control but I am slowly falling apart 
It used to be a relationship turned sour that would make me cry 
Now my pet of seven years has advanced cancer and will soon die 
I've shed many tears since I received this awful news 
I try to picture myself in her shoes 
Poor baby I love her so much 
How I'm going to miss her and her soft touch 
I wake up every morning and keep her close to me 
She is so faithful, as trusting as can be 
This is a big blow and I need to muster all my courage to be with her to the end 
I don't want to say goodbye to my very best friend.

Very nice touching tribute to your poor dog Brigitte! I myself have lost a pet dog to the devious cancer disease! I know it is hard but when her time comes at least she won't be suffering anymore and she will finally be at peace.
