By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,
Is a lush, green meadow where
time stands still.
Where the friends of man and woman do run,
When their
time on earth is over and done.
For here, between this world and the
next,
Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.
On this golden
land, they wait and they play,
Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one
day.
No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,
For here they
are whole, their lives filled with gladness.
Their limbs are restored, their
health renewed,
Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.
They
romp through the grass, without even a care,
Until one day they start, and
sniff at the air.
All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,
Then
all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.
For just at that instant, their
eyes have met;
Together again, both person and pet.
So they run to each
other, these friends from long past,
The time of their parting is over at
last.
The sadness they felt while they were apart,
Has turned into
joy once more in each heart.
They embrace with a love that will last
forever,
And then, side-by-side, they cross over… together.
