I’m caught in the strange place
between praying for a sunny day
and wishing for the sun to never come again
She needs to have a good last day
I need to have a good last day
with her
I need there to be a beautiful day
so she can sunbathe
chase a bee
See me walk into the yard
run to me with firework whiskers ablaze
greeting me with her joy
I need that
The vet calls
I tell her not today
She understands
and says she'll call tomorrow
She's in pain
But it's not time yet
Please
Please let us have our sunny day
Please don't let the sun come out tomorrow
