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 go run with them, but I had something left to do.
I needed to
reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright
'Twas the
glow of many candles shining bright and strong and bold
And I knew
then that it held your love in its 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.
Forever beyond the
rainbow, we'll always be near,
Love and miss you,
throughout the years.
(Cate Guyan, 1995)
