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 friends, so they can run and play together
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine and
our 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, 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 .....
