In fields of gold, where rainbows bend,
We walk together, my faithful friend.
Your gentle pawprints mark the way,
But now it's time for you to stray.

Through tear-filled eyes, I see you go,
To where the golden rivers flow.
A bridge of light, a path so clear,
Where pain and age no longer sear.

Though my heart breaks, I'll let you fly,
To chase the stars across the sky.
For in that realm, you'll find your peace,
Where all your pains and worries cease.

So run, dear friend, run free and wild,
In lands where dreams and love compile.
Though you depart, our bond remains,
In whispered echoes, soft refrains.

Goodbye, sweet soul, my cherished guide,
Across the rainbow bridge, you glide.
Until we meet again one day,
In fields of gold, we'll find our way.
