RAINBOW BRIDGE........
The Spirit of an Aussie
I was standing on a hillside, in a
field of blowing wheat,
and the spirit of an Aussie
was lying at my feet.
He looked at me with kind
dark eyes, an ancient wisdom shining through,
and in the essence of his
being, I saw there was love there too.
His mind did lock upon my
heart as I stood there on that day,
and he told me of this story
about a place so far away.
I stood upon the hillside in
a field of blowing wheat,
and in a twinkling of a
second his spirit left my feet.
His tale did put my heart at
ease, my fears did fade away,
about what lay ahead of me
on another distant day.
"I live among God's
creatures now in the heavens of your mind,
so do not grieve for me, my
friend, as I am with my kind.
My collar is a rainbow's
hue, my lead a shooting star,
my boundaries are the ‘Milky
Way’ where I sparkle from afar.
There are no runs or kennels
here, for I am not confined,
but free to roam the heavens
above among my Aussie kind.
I sleep in the day on a
snowy cloud, gentle breezes rocking me,
and dream the dreams of
earthlings and how it used to be.
The trees are full of liver
treats and tennis balls abound,
and ‘gravy bones’ line the
walkways just waiting to be found.
There even is a ring set up,
the grass all lush and green.
and everyone who gaits
around becomes the ‘Best of Breed’.
For we're all winners in
this place, we have no faults, you see,
and ribbons are passed out
to each one, even ‘lil ole’ me.
I drink from waters laced
with gold, my world a beauty to behold,
and wise old dogs do form my
pride to amble at my very side.
At night I sleep in an
angel's arms, her wings protecting me,
and moonbeams dance about
us, as stardust falls on thee.
So when your life on earth
is spent and you stand at Heaven's gate,
have no fear of loneliness,
for here, you know I wait.
