Over the Rainbow Bridge
Mitzy Oct. 17, 2011
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 The 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 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. Her bright eyes are intent; her eager body quiver,
Suddenly she begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass,
Her legs carrying her 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 hand 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.....
