RAINBOW BRIDGE
Just this side
of Heaven is a place called the Rainbow Bridge.
When a pet passes away that has been especially close to someone here,
that pet goes to the Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can
run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water, and sunshine and our friends are warm
and comfortable here.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor;
those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again. Just as
we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals
are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone
very special, someone who was left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops
and looks into the distance.
His bright eyes are intent; his eager body begins to quiver.
Suddenly he breaks from the group. flying over the green grass, faster
and faster.
You have been
spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling
together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again.
The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved
head, and you look once more into those trusting eyes, so long gone from
your life, but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together..
