There is a bridge connecting heaven and earth
It is called Rainbow bridge because of its many colours.
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 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 the Rainbow Bridge together, never to be separated.
Until we meet again..............
