The Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called The 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 and water and sunshine and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who have been ill 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. Bright eyes are intent; Eager body begins to
quiver. Suddenly this one begins to run from the group, flying over
the green grass, legs carrying it faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend 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 together, you
and your special pet cross the Rainbow Bridge....
I’ll meet you at the bridge.
