Just this
side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that had been especially close to someone
here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all our special friends so they
can run and play together.
There is plenty of food and water and sunshine,
and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the
animals who have 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 eyes are
intent; his eager body begins to quiver.
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 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 together
you and your special pet cross the Rainbow Bridge ....
