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 &
sunshine & our friends are warm & comfortable. |
All the animals who had been ill &
old are restored to health & vigour: those who were
hurt or maimed are made whole & strong again. Just as
we remember them in our dreams of days & times gone
by. |
The animals are happy & content,
except for one small thing; they each miss someone very
special to them, who had to be left behind. |
They all run & play together, but
the day comes when one suddenly stops & 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 & faster. |
You have been spotted, & when you
& 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, & 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 Rainbow Bridge together.
