Now I Must Go

(Author Unknown)

Send me to the Bridge I pray,
When I no longer run and play.
When my limbs no longer bear my weight
And dignity is stripped by fate.

Look into my eyes and you will find
I will let you know it’s time.
You must help me from this edge
Now it’s time I make this pledge.

I leave you for the Bridge today.
Anew, I run, I bark and play.
We shared a life of many things.
And to your heart my leaving brings

The pain of loss.  I felt this too.
But master please know, this I must do.
I must leave first to make the way
For you to follow me someday.

Beyond the sunset where all pain ends
We’ll meet again, the best of friends.
Just as I snuggled within your heart
You are in mine, we’re not far apart.

I watch you from afar and pray
It’s time to heal…heal some each day.
Please dry those tears and smile for me
And know at last, that I am free.

There is no pain or suffering here.
No clouds of gray will gather here
The sun shines brightly everywhere.
No storms will ever threaten.
There is not even one cross look.
For we are at the Rainbow Bridge
It’s not allowed here in His book.
And Rainbow Bridge is Heaven.
