Rainbow Bridge
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 & hills for all of our
special friends so they can run & play
together.
There is plenty of food, water & sunshine
& our friends are warm & comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill & old
are restored to health and vigor.
Those who were hurt or maimed are
made whole & strong again, just as we
remember them in our dreams of days &
times gone by. The animals are happy &
content, except for one small thing; they
each miss someone very special to them,
who had to be left behind.
They all run & play together, but the day
comes when one suddenly stops & 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 & faster.
You have been spotted, & when you &
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 & 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....
