There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. It is
called
the Rainbow Bridge because of it's many colors. Just
this
side of the Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows,
hills
and valleys with lush green grass for all of our special
friends
so they can run and play together.
When a beloved pet
dies, the pet goes to this place. There is always food and
water and warm spring weather so our friends are warm and
comfortable. All
the animals who have 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
are not with their special
person who loved them on
Earth.
So each day they run and play together, but the
day comes when one suddenly
stops playing 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 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 the trusting eyes of your pet,
so long gone from
your life but never absent from your
heart.
Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge
together.
