"The Rainbow
Bridge"
Author Unknown
"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 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 or 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 gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing, they
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 quivers. 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 finally meet, you cling to
each other in joyous reunion, never to be parted again.
The happy kisses rain upon our 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 you cross the Rainbow Bridge together......." |
