The 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 or old
are restored to health and vigor,
those who were hurt or maimed are made whole
and made 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 trusting eyes of your pet,
so long from your life
but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.
