When you get a bad break
and the judge seems a fake
BE A GOOD LOSER!
when you start to see red
Leave the cuss-words unsaid
BE A GOOD LOSER!
Though it hurts and it rankles way
under your vest just remember
most everyone thinks his dog is the best
An invisible medal is pinned on the chest
OF A GOOD LOSER!
(Marie Edwards)
If it should be I grow frail and weak
And the pain should wake me from my sleep
Then you must do what must be done
For this last battle can't be won.
You will be said, I understand,
Don't let your grief then stay your hand,
For this day, more than all the rest
your love and friendship stand the test.
We've had so many happy years,
What is to come will hold no fears,
You'd not want me to suffer, so please let me go.
Take me where my needs they'll tend
Stay with me until the end,
And hold me firm and speak to me,
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will see
It is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved
From pain and suffering I've been saved.
Do not grieve that it should be you
Who has to decide this thing to do.
We've been so close for so many years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.
(Marie Edwards)
