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 and water and sunshine,
and our friends are warm and safe 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 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...

The bright eyes are intent and the 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, the happy kisses rain upon your face,
your hands once again caress the beloved head and
you look once more into the trusting eyes of your beloved pet,
so long gone from you life, but never absent from your heart...

Together you turn and walk across Rainbow Bridge . . .
never to be parted again.
