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.... |
