RAINBOW BRIDGE
Just
this side of heaven is a place called the 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 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 be 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 upon your face; your hand 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 the
Rainbow Bridge together.....
