| 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....
