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.
The old and frail become young again.
Those whom are maimed are made whole again.
They play all day with each other

There is only one thing missing. They are not
with their special person who loved them on earth.
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!
Suddenly one 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 you look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet.

Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together,
Never again to be separated.
