I know not where you went & how & why...
I screamed out loud hoping you'll hear me,
Despite my best efforts, I failed miserably...
They tried to reason with me fearing I'll go mad,
They couldn't fathom how much I was sad.
"Love makes the world go crazy", they said.
Earning back my loved ones was in my head.
I resolutely set out with a purpose that rainy day.
Clouds, Wind, Rain, Lightning...came my way.
The rainy-clouds thundered & showered their grace.
I didn't wipe the tears & raindrops from my face.
I walked till the rainbow bridge's other side,
As God welcomed me to heaven, like a child I cried...
Pots of gold/diamonds can't give that happiness-
Greeting & hugging loved ones & feeling blessed...
To God I put forth my demand -"WANTED:
All my loved ones- ALIVE and not dead".
God said kindly, "That's everyone's demand!
But, there's a lot that you are yet to understand-
Please do note all my dear children on Earth!
There are reasons why you exist & exit post birth...
The cycles of birth and death are inevitable for all,
Can't bring anyone back no matter how much you call..."
I woke up on my bed with a start seeing bright light,
Was it just a dream and not reality that rainy night ?
I was dying to meet my loved ones & had died to do so...
In my wet clothes I was back from the other side of the rainbow...

If you could bring back someone from the other side of the rainbow bridge for just one day, would you do that?#defeatingdeathforaday

I think that is what most would want? Yet it is not to be, no one comes back. And when we go, it will be true for us, we won't be coming back, it seems to be a one way street.

I lost my husband when he was only 45 years old and was crushed, devastated, and unable to cope for a long time. It took me 5 years before I knew that I would make it without him, but that he would be there for me when we meet again. I know he would want me to live a good life - and so I try.

I believe we'll all be together again someday and I wouldn't want to bring them back to suffer again. I like to think they're all at peace.
