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 The
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 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 thing: they 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. The bright eyes are intent;
the eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins
to break away 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.
