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....
