Olympia
Olympia August 11, 2011-November 5, 2011 Olympia, you were too sweet for this cruel world and your body too weak to fight. I am so sorry that we couldn't save you. It will be a huge regret in my heart, until we are together again at the "Bridge". I know that Porthos has found you and that you frolick together, and that helps to ease the pain of your loss a small bit..... until we meet again, my sweet "scruffy face". "Beyond The Rainbow" As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played, I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade. I saw a wondrous image then of a place that's trouble-free Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity. I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side Were meadows rich and beautiful -- lush and green and wide! And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be! My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do. I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright Glow pierced the night. 'Twas the Glow of many Candles shining bright and strong and bold And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold. For although we may not be together in the way we used to be, We are still connected by a cord no eye can see. So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart. By Cate Guyan © 1995
