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, that pet goes to The Rainbow Bridge
There are meadows and hills for all 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 of the animals who have been ill or old are restored to health and vigour, those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of day and times gone by
They are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone special who had to be left behind
But the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. Her bright eyes are intent, her eager body quivers Suddenly she begins to run from the group, flying over green grass, her legs carrying her faster and faster, you have been spotted, and when you and your old friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again The happy kisses rain on your face, your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes, so long gone from your life but never from your heart
Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together |
