“Goodbye my Sweet Prince”
by Karen Hukill

Now I lay you down to sleep,
with a heavy heart and eyes that weep.
Cancer is a horrible, dreadful disease,
I felt so helpless - but your pain I must ease.

God gave me the decision, the right and the power,
To end your great suffering on that fateful hour.
This decision was not so easy for me,
Your love and companionship was really a need.

You were always so special - my very best friend.
We fought the tough battle clear to the end.
My heart and my soul literally ache for you,
But ending your pain is what I must do.

In the twinkle of an eye, you were in the presence of the Lord,
As your soul ripped through mine, I lost my True North.

This, my most selfless act, was a sign of my love,
With the hope and the faith that you'd be happy above.

My grief is extraordinary - My loss is profound.
Mere words cannot tell of the courage I found
To help you join your friends at the Bridge
Your peace and your freedom was all I could give.

I pray every day that you've gone to the place
with snow dancing lessons and bunnies to chase.
Your welfare and happiness were so important to me,
And it took every ounce of my love to let you be free.

With kisses and cuddles and a soft gentle wooo,
Rest well my Sweet Prince - for I dearly love you.
