The 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 and
hills for all of our special
friends so that they can run and
play together.
There is plenty of food and
water and sunshine, and our
friends there are warm and
comfortable. All the animals who
had been ill and old are
restored to perfect health and
vigor; those who were hurt or
maimed are made whole and strong
again just as we remember them
in our dreams of years 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
stay behind when the beloved pet
went away. They all run and play
together, but the day comes when
one suddenly stops and looks up
- the bright eyes are intent,
the body quivers.
Suddenly he begins to run from
the group his body flying over
the green grass, his legs
hurrying faster and faster. You
have been spotted, when when you
and your special friend finally
meet, you cling together in
joyous reunion, never to be
parted again. The sweet loving
kisses rain upon your face, your
hands again caress the beloved
head, and you look once more
into the trusting eyes of your
dear pet, so long gone from your
life but never absent from your
heart.
Then you cross the Rainbow
Bridge together...
