They saw you watching over them
As they finally closed their eyes
They smelled your scent as they breathed in and out for the last time
They heard the way your voice broke
As you told them they were loved
They felt you as you held them
With your gentle, farewell touch
And now they watch each morning
As you pass their empty bed
They watch you lose composure
And they see the tears you shed
They hear you bear the silence
of the footsteps that are gone and
that walk across your heart each day
Like echoes of a song they feel the pang of emptiness you get when you’re alone. In moments when you realise that they’re never coming home
But in their darkest moment
You were there to hold them tight
And they just want the same for you
So you can feel alright
So they’re sewing you a rainbow,
Weaving ribbons through the sky
So they can let you know that life is good beyond goodbye
So next time it is raining
And the sun appears as well just feel and look and listen to what they are trying to tell you.
They’re telling you it’s spring there
With its showers and its sun where there are endless fields for them
To play and stretch and run.
They’re telling you they sleep upon
The biggest, softest beds that they have stitched from all the clouds
that float above your head.
They’re telling you they’re not alone,
for there are many others and they’ve been reunited with their parents, sisters, brothers
They’re showing you their rainbow
So you know they won’t forget you
and to tell you they will always be
So happy that they met you.
And they’re telling you they love you
And though they’ll be dearly missed,
Not to worry, ‘cause it’s beautiful
Beyond the rainbow bridge
Sending love and compassion to anyone who is missing a beloved pet today - and every day.
