"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 and water
and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had
been ill and old are restored to health and vigour; 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 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, the bright eyes are intent; the eager body
quivers. Suddenly he begins to break away 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 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 you cross that Rainbow Bridge together........" |
