I came home today,
You were not there.
I could not find
you anywhere.
You did not greet
Me at the door.
You were not
Lying on the floor.
You did not come
When I called your name
You were not there
Who was to blame?
I did not want to
Say goodbye.
Where were you?
I began to cry!
It didn't take long
Until I knew you were there
You were flowing
Throughout the air.
You were free
To run and play
You did not hurt
Like yesterday.
Although Your face
I cannot see
I know you
Are here with me.
At the rainbow bridge
I will see you, my friend.
This is your beginning
Not your end!
