The Rainbow Bridge (Norse version)
By the edge of
, at the
of a hill,
Is a lush, green meadow where
stands still.
Where the friends of man and woman do run,
When their time on earth is over and done.
For here, between
and the next,
Is a place where each
creature finds rest.
On this golden land, they
and play,
Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.
No more do they suffer, in
or in sadness,
For here they are
, their lives filled with gladness.
Their limbs are restored, their
renewed,
Their
have healed, with
imbued.
They romp through the
, without even a care,
Until one day they start, and
at the air.
All
prick forward,
dart front and back,
Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.
For just at that instant, their eyes have met;
Together again, both
and pet.
So they run to each other, these
from long past,
The time of their
is over at last.
The
they felt while they were apart,
Has turned into
once more in each heart.
They embrace with a love that will last forever,
And then, side-by-side, they cross over... together.
