Poem
Family pets play such an important role in the human experience. For love, friendship, security and companionship. But since they live such short lives, do you believe they live just beyond The Rainbow Bridge? Title: The Rainbow Bridge (A lone voice whispers) In a deep dream I saw an old wooden bridge A bridge of green and blue Filled with yellow flowers and red roses At the front of a huge crowd of watching blinking eyes Stood a regal black Dobermann He seemed quite confident and approached You may not cross here yet He spoke Within my mind These lands are for those who never forget true love Us The companions Of mankind This is The Rainbow Bridge And over those ivy mountains Are the golden cities Filled with happy owners and their sidekicks The brothers and sisters of the Watchers Who you now see Before you Called The Bellagio A sea of eyes Filled with love Who'll follow you Wherever you go Waiting patiently In this rain or snow For their beloved owners to show Above you If you look Is a mirror So we can see the other side To know when their time Too comes To prepare to be reunited When our true love Say their final goodbyes For true love never dies Only fluctuates As one walks Through a new gate We are all now at peace No pain No anxiety Just happy to sit and wait for our soulmates To cross The Rainbow Bridge For there is no time And no such concept of being late Now go Astral traveller And recount our meeting and greetings from me and The Bellagio And with a low bark He turned and walked back into the sea of smiling eyes Who all blinked in unison Seemingly smiling And disappeared As the dream started to fade He appeared once more Briefly In the trailing smoke And whispered before I could answer It is I Caesar I have always been waiting for you And as I woke and wrote In my dream journal The beloved memories of Caesar returned Making me smile That he was waiting Now at peace Amongst his happy brothers and sisters Beyond The Rainbow Bridge Patiently and Regally waiting Like a much-loved priest Of The Bellagio Who can now Speak (C) Copyright John Duffy
