Eventually we all cross that bridge
The bridge to the other side
Where we hope and pray
Our life on Earth qualifies
Upon entry there
Our loved ones who went before us
Greet us with open arms
Even tails wagging amorous
Our diseases and injuries
All healed making us like new
Our hearts together again
Our souls rejoicing too
The passing of life
We all know is inevitable
The pain we experience
Physical and emotional
But after crossing over that bridge
The pain is taken away
We’re surrounded with love
With all our loved ones anyway
