The Final Hours

It’s been six sad days since you left us, to float to Heaven’s Gate;
Every one with endless teardrops, for our precious dear soulmate!
That morning I laid beside you, before the darkness turned to dawn;
I stroked your fragile body, in deep slumber so withdrawn!
.
For two hours I rubbed and kissed you, knowing soon you’d have to leave;
Followed by the heartbreak we would suffer, forever more to grieve!
Our little Soulmate Cody, so hurting and so thin;
We had to end your suffering, your eternal life begin!
.
I cried in anticipation, I knew the hour grew so near;
When you’d sail away to Heaven, and no longer would be here!
You stayed until the last moment, gave us bonus days of joy;
But finally you could fight no longer, and we lost our little boy!
.

                              In the final hours
                         I laid by your loving side
                           As my sad soul wept
