Rainbow Bridge
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 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, someone
who was 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
begins to quiver.
Suddenly, he breaks from the group, flying
over the green grass, 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 those trusting
eyes,
so long gone from your life, but never absent
from your heart.
Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together...

AT THE RAINBOW BRIDGE
There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth.
It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of
its many colors.
Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge,
there is a land of meadows, hills and valleys
with lush green grass.
When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to
this place.
There is always food and water and warm Spring
weather.
Those old and frail animals are young again.
Those who have been maimed are made whole
again.
They play all day with each other.
Some of them here by the Bridge are different.
These pets were beaten, starved, tortured,
and unloved.
They watch wistfully as their friends leave
one by one,
to cross the bridge with their special person.
For them there is no one, no special one.
Their time on earth did not give them one.
But one day, as they run and play,
they notice someone standing by the road
to the bridge.
This person wistfully watches the reunions
of friends,
for during life, this person had no pet.
This person was beaten, starved, tortured,
and unloved.
Standing there alone, one of the unloved
pets approaches,
curious as to why this one is alone.
And as the unloved pet and the unloved person
get nearer to each other,
a miracle occurs,
for these are the ones who were meant to
be together,
the special person and the beloved pet
who never had the chance to meet while on
Earth.
Finally, now, at the edge of the Rainbow
Bridge,
their souls meet, the pain and the sorrow
disappears,
and two friends are together.
They cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never
again to be separated.
