On the bridge where colors blend and sway,
A man and his dog walk one last day.
The rainbow arches, vibrant and bright,
Yet casts a shadow in the fading light.
His faithful friend, with fur so fine,
Walks beside him, calm and kind.
But the man’s eyes, they cloud with tears,
As he whispers soft goodbyes through the years.
The bridge seems endless, but time is short,
In this final, bittersweet transport.
Each step a memory, each breath a sigh,
As they tread the path where goodbyes lie.
The hues above may shimmer and gleam,
But below, his heart feels the cold stream.
For every rainbow fades from view,
When you must say farewell to someone true.
The dog looks up with gentle eyes,
Unaware of the man's silent cries.
They walk together, ‘neath a sky so wide,
As he says goodbye, with aching pride.
The bridge stretches on, a fading line,
Where love and sorrow intertwine.
And as they part with a final stride,
The man and his dog are eternally side by side.
