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 the
Rainbow
Bridge...together...
