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 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, 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, someone who was 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
begins to quiver. Suddenly, he 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.
