There’s a place connecting Heaven
and earth…
Because of its many colors, it’s called
THE RAINBOW BRIDGE
Just this side of
Heaven is a place called The 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 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 or 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
gone by.
The animals are happy
and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to
them who had to be 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 quivers. Suddenly he begins to run 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
to each other 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 the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent
from your heart.
Then
you cross Rainbow Bridge together.
