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,
jusr 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 loooks
into the distance. His bright eyes are intent.
His eager body quivers. Sudddenly he begins to
run from the group, fly 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
togehter in joyous reunion, never to be parted
again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; you
hands caress the beloved head, and you look once
more into the trusting eyes of your pet,so long
gone from you life but never absent from your
heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge
together....
