The light arrives on time
Each day to mark the morn
We walk along a line
From the day we are born
Along the winding road
Until the journey’s done
Stand before the ocean
To see the setting sun
Your boat is in the bay
And now an evening breeze
To call your soul away
Across the endless seas
And when you do set sail
Towards that distant shore
Your sun then out of sight
I’ll love you ever more.
This was written as his beloved companion Oscar, a friendly orange cat prepared to take his final journey. The loss of a pet is one that isn’t commonly acknowledged as a “legitimate” reason to grieve, but for anyone who has experienced the “Rainbow Bridge” with their beloved family member, we know this isn’t true as expressed so warmly by this poem.
Light of Love
