A poem for anyone who has lost a pet

Beyond the Rainbow

As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played
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 to and run with them but 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 although 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.

Hope these words help someone

That is beautiful. Did you write that?

No I didn't write it, I wish I did. My friend was sent it by the veterinary nurse
when her GSD died.

Thank You... It is the 1 year anniversary of my Jasmines death tomorrow and reading that poem did make me feel better.
