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....
