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 friendsso they can run and play together.There is plenty of
food, water and sunshine andour 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 petwho 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.
