Was it today:yesterday:a week:a month?
There are no days;there are no nights since my Holly died
I reach to pet my furry friend who is no longer there
My heart is broken;my arms are empty;how many tears I`ve cried

I leave the house,into the lane we always walked together
The rain is falling,I notice not,Just tears on my face
She used to lead me down the lane,Her spirit leads me still
But we go a different way to a very strange and different place.

I stand before a rustic bridge Ive never seen before,
I stop,I know I`m not to cross.But why,I want to know?
And then the rain suddenly stops.I look up into the clouds.

Jan (Jenacis)
I look down.The bridge is gone and in its place is a rainbow

I look across the Rainbow Bridge and see a joyful sight;
Thousands of healthy furfriends playing with my beloved pet.
I want to run and love her,but I`m rooted to the spot.
She looks and wags her tail and I hear her bark." Not yet"

And then her bark turns to a voice and I hear her say.
You cared for me,you played with me and loved me to the end.
I`m healthy now,don`t cry for me .Ill meet you again
Others need your love and care .I`m sending you a friend,

I rub my eyes and the rainbow is again the rustic bridge
I send a prayer for that quick glimpse to the loving God above
I hear a noise and glance back down,I can`t believe my eyes
Across the bridge my darling pet sent a furbaby for me to love

I pick up the furry bundle,hold him close to my damped cheek
He nuzzles my neck,kissess my tears,It`s true love at first sight
Not to replace the one who`s gone;another who needs my love and care
My eyes are Drawn upwards to see a Rainbow Bridge in radiation light

I Have just found out someone else has put the same poem on,I found it with a number of other beautiful poems someone gave me when I lost my Holly
I do hope anyway it will help you all and so sorry for repeating it ...I will put some of the others on over the time
