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 & 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, someone who was left
behind.
They all run &
play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops
and looks
into the distance. Her bright eyes are intent; her eager body
begins to
quiver. Suddenly, she breaks from the group,
flying over
the green grass, 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 those trusting eyes, so long
gone from
your life, but never absent from your heart.
Then you
cross the Rainbow Bridge together...
