BEYOND THE RAINBOW
It wasn't that I wanted to or that a choice was to be made,
But I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade.
I saw a wondrous image then,
of a place that's trouble-free
Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.
I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side
Were meadows rich and beautiful -- lush and green and wide!
And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see
Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be!
My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new.
And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do.
I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright
That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright Glow pierced the night.
‘Twas the Glow of many candles shining bright and strong and bold
And I knew then that it held your love in it's brilliant shades of gold!
For altho we may not be together in the way we used to be,
We are still connected by a cord no eye can see.
So, whenever you need to find me we're never far apart
If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.
(Refers to the candlelight cermony performed on Monday nights through the Rainbow Bridge pet loss area on America Online.)
