Rainbow Bridge
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....
