RAINBOW
BRIDGE
Just
this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge
When an animal dies that has been expecially 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 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...
