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 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 all right

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 its brilliant shades of gold.



For though we may not be together

In the way we used to be

We are still connected by a cord

Which no eye can see.



So, whenever you need to find me

We are never far apart

If you look beyond the Rainbow

And listen with your heart.
