In the vast expanse where the heavens meet,
I bound through fields, my joy ever sweet.
No pain, no strife, just endless play,
A celestial haven where I eternally stay.

The sun forever shines in a radiant dance,
Gilding the grass in a celestial trance.
Chasing after squirrels with celestial glee,
In this paradise, where I’m forever free.

I yearn for the cuddles, the warmth of your hand,
Yet, worry not, I’m watching from the strand.
I’m the gentle breeze that strokes your hair,
A whisper in the wind saying, “I’m always there.”

In dreams, I visit, a fleeting light’s gleam,
A paw on your shoulder, a comforting dream.
I’ve become your guardian, though unseen,
Guiding your heart in the spaces between.

The Rainbow Bridge connects our two domains,
Where love’s enduring, and forever remains.
I’ll be waiting with patience, tail wagging free,
For the day you cross, and reunite with me.

So, in the laughter, the tears, and the mundane,
Feel my presence, a love that will sustain.
Look for my signs in the stars above,
Heaven’s whispers echo our boundless love.

Unseen but felt, in the rustling leaves.

A language of love that transcends day and night.
Our souls remain intertwined, forever above,
Speaking the silent, eternal language of love.
