Rainbow Bridge

There is a bridge connecting heaven and earth,
it is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors.  Just
the other side of the Rainbow Bridge is a land of meadows, hills,
and valleys, covered with lush green grass.

When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this lovely land.  There is
always food and water and warm spring weather.  There, the old
and frail animals are young again.  Those who were not well are
made whole once more.  They play all day with each other,
content and comfortable.

There is only one thing missing. They are not with the special
person who loved them on earth.  So each day they run and play
until the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks
up!  Then, the nose twitches!  The ears are up!  The eyes are
staring!   You have been seen, and that one suddenly runs from
the group!

You take him or her in your arms and embrace.  Your face is
kissed again and again and again, and you look once more
into the eyes of your trusting pet.

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