The Rainbow Bridge
By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,
In a lush green meadow where time stands still,
Where people’s friends freely do run,
When their time on the Earth plane’s over and done.
For here, between this world and the next,
Is a place where all God’s beloved creatures find rest.
On this golden land, they wait and they play,
Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.
No more they suffer from pain and sadness,
Here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness,
Limbs are restored and health renewed.
Bodies healed and with new strength imbued,
They romp through the grass, without having a care.
But then, one fine day, they stop and sniff the air.
With ears pricked forward, one of them looks back
And suddenly breaks away from the pack.
For just at that instant the eyes have met,
Re-united once more, of human being and pet.
They run to each other to renew their friendship of the past.
The time of their parting is over at last and
The sadness they felt while being apart
Now turns into the purest of joy in their loving heart.
They embrace with an affection that will last forever
And then, side-by-side, they cross over
Into the world of light – together.
