- 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....
