Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
This bridge is connecting Heaven and Earth.
It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors.
Just this side there are meadows, hills, and valleys
With lush green grass, for all our special friends
As they can run and play together.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here,
That pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There is always plenty of food, water, and sunshine
And warm spring weather.
The old and frail animals are young again.
Those who are maimed are made whole again.
They play all day with each other.
There is only one thing missing.
They are not with their special person who loved them on Earth.

So, each day, they run and play until the day comes when one
Suddenly stops playing and looks up.
The nose twitches! The ears are up! The eyes are staring!
And this one suddenly runs from the group!

You have been seen, and when you and your special friend meet,
You take him or her in your arms and embrace.
Your face is kissed again and again and again,
And you look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet.
Then, you cross the Rainbow Bridge together,
Never again to be separated.

This was sent to me from a friend. It has helped us all deal with the loss of Likker. Perhaps it will help someone else out there who may have lost a pet.
