Just
this side of heaven
is a place called
Rainbow Bridge.
When
an animal dies that
has been especially
close to someone
here, that pet goes
to 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.
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 to them,
who had to be 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 quivers. Suddenly
he begins to run
from the group, flying
over the green grass,
his legs carrying
him 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 the
trusting eyes of
your pet, so long
gone from your life
but never absent
from your heart.
Then
you cross Rainbow
Bridge together....
