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 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 and
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 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.
The bright eyes are intent; the eager body quivers.
Suddenly he begins to break away 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...
