Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven, there is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here,
it goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends
so they can run and jump and play together.
There is plenty of tasty food, fresh water and sunshine
and our friends feel warm and comfortable.
All animals that have been ill or old
are restored in health and vigor,
just as we remember them in our dreams
of days and times gone by.

These animals are happy and content, except for one little thing:
They each miss someone very special to them,
they had to leave behind.

They all run and play together,
but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance.
Suddenly he begins to run 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 joyful reunion, never to be parted again.
Happy kisses rain upon your face,
your hand 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.

And then, you cross the Rainbow Bridge together..........
