Godspeed little man...

Think of me, think of me fondly,
when we've said goodbye.
Remember me once in a while -
please promise me you'll try.
When you find that, once again,
you long to take your heart back
and be free -
if you ever find a moment,
spare a thought for me
We never said
our love was evergreen,
or as unchanging
as the sea -
but if
you can still remember
stop and think
of me . . .
Think of all the things
we've shared and seen -
don't think about the things
which might have been . . .
Think of me, think of me waking,
silent and resigned.
Imagine me, trying too hard
to put you from my mind.
Recall those days
look back on all those times,
think of the things
we'll never do -
there will never be a day, when
I won't think of you . .
We never said, our love
was evergreen, or as unchanging
as the sea - but please
promise me, that sometimes
you will think of me

RAINBOW BRIDGE PEOM
[ AUTHOR UNKNOWN ]

JUST THIS SIDE OF HEAVEN IS A PLACE CALLED RAINBOW BRIDGE. WHEN AN ANIMAL DIES THAT HAS BEEN ESPECIALLY CLOSE TO SOMEONE HERE, THAT PET GOES TO RAINBOW BRIDGE. THERE ARE MEADOWS AND HILLS FOR ALL OF OUR SPECIAL FRIENDS SO THEY CAN RUN AND PLAY TOGETHER. THERE IS PLENTY OF FOOD AND WATER AND SUNSHINE, AND OUR FRIENDS ARE WARM AND COMFORTABLE.

ALL THE ANIMALS WHO HAD BEEN ILL AND OLD ARE RESTORED TO HEALTH AND VIGOR, THOSE WHO WERE HURT OR MAIMED ARE MADE WHOLE AND STRONG AGAIN, JUST AS WE REMEMBER THEM IN OUR DREAMS OF DAYS GONE BY. THE ANIMALS ARE HAPPY AND CONTENT, EXCEPT FOR ONE SMALL THING. THEY MISS SOMEONE VERY SPECIAL TO THEM WHO HAD TO BE LEFT BEHIND.

THEY ALL RUN AND PLAY TOGETHER, BUT THE DAY COMES WHEN ONE SUDDENLY STOPS AND LOOKS INTO THE DISTANCE. THE BRIGHT EYES ARE INTENT, THE EAGER BODY QUIVERS. SUDDENLY HE BEGINS TO BREAK AWAY FROM THE GROUP, FLYING OVER THE GREEN GRASS, HIS LEGS CARRYING HIM FASTER AND FASTER.

YOU HAVE BEEN SPOTTED AND WHEN YOU AND YOUR SPECIAL FRIEND FINALLY MEET, YOU CLING TOGETHER IN JOYOUS REUNION, NEVER TO BE PARTED AGAIN. THE HAPPY KISSES RAIN UPON YOUR FACE, YOUR HANDS AGAIN CARESS HIS BELOVED HEAD AND YOU LOOK ONCE MORE INTO THE TRUSTING EYES OF YOUR PET, SO LONG GONE FROM YOUR LIFE BUT NEVER ABSENT FROM YOUR HEART.

THEN YOU PASS OVER RAINBOW BRIDGE TOGETHER.


Godspeed little man, we will see you again at the Rainbow Bridge.

Love,

Mommy and Daddy
