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.

but there is only one thing missing.

They are not with their special person

who loved them on earth.

So, each day they run and play

until the day comes

when one suddenly stops playing

and looks up.

The nose twitches,

the ears are up,

the eyes are staring, and

This one suddenly runs from the group.

You have been seen, and when you and

your special friend meet,

you take him or her in your arms

and embrace.

Your face is kissed again and again and again,

and you look once more into the eyes of your

trusting pet.

Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge

together,

never again to be separated.
