Permanent Thread for Rainbow Bridge Poems (now open for new additions)

This poem is kind of depressing...but I wrote it for a poem contest.
It's pretty short..hope you all like it.

Rest in Peace
I lock myself in my room,
The tears falling even as I sleep,
For my furry friend has left me,
In a depression very deep.

His empty cage lies there,
The food still in his bowl,
Although he will never be forgotten,
My heart has a permanent hole.

I have completely lost my appetite,
Knowing he’s no longer here,
How could he be gone?
That’s just so unfair!

I know it wasn’t his fault,
He was getting old,
Now I shall cherish,
Those precious memories like gold.
 
That's lovely. Set me off again but it's lovely.
 
I read this in one of the Heartland books...

"There is no death, only a change of worlds."
 
Here is a poem I made from the top of my head for all those animals who are crossing/ have crossed rainbow bridge.

I cuddle and stroke you, for the very last time,
Knowing that you will start your climb,
Of reaching the bridge that all pets reach,
Those memories we had, I'll cherish each.

Sorry it may be bad but I hope it will just make us remember the happy times.
 
hachi thats lovely :) made me think of Misty my Bridge baby xoxo
 
here is a little poem I that is an extract from a book I am writing called "Gifted" in the story it is refering to a dead foal but it works nicely with most animals who cross the rainbow bridge


Sleep in peace my little one, in the land without a setting sun,
In a place were grass is ever green,
Danger and sorrow never seen,
I’ll meet you there, my little one,
In that place without a setting sun”​
 
A Special Place

There is a special place in our hearts
for those we have loved....
For those who have loved us
without question,
without a word or promise....
There is a special place
where there is no pain or fear,
where love flows freely....
There is a special place
to rest in our hearts forever.

sorry just finding my way around so * will have 2 excuse ha ha a little long in the tooth ie old like gus
 
this is just a little ode what i wrote

in fields of gold where all gods creature,s play
where rainbow bridge is not far away
where hearts are young once again
never to suffer the cold or wind or rain
there bodies once old now young again

wait for there friends to join then again
the times they had the games they played
the love they they shared never to be be-trayed .

the love between man and pet is always earned and something what could be never made .


god rest you my little friend , our time with you will never be forgoten :: rest in peace Augustus ( Gus ) we both lov you . from your adopted mam and dad
 
god looked around his garden and he found an empty place,
and then he looked upon the earth and saw your tired face,
he put his arms around you and lifted you to rest,
god,s garden must be beautiful,he always takes the best,
he knew that you were suffering,he knew you were in pain,
he knew you would never get well on earth again.
he saw the road was getting rough,the hills were hard to climb,
so he closed your weary eyelids and whispered "peace be thine",
lt broke our hearts to lose you,but you did,nt go alone,
for part of us went with you,the day god called you home.

for ay-ay, morris,sam,willow,pepperpot,and all our departed loved ones. till we meet again,x
