The Rainbow Bridge

There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth
It is called Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors
Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge
There is a land of meadows, hills, and valleys
With lush green grass
When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place
There is always food and water and warm spring weather
The old and frail animals are young again
Those who are maimed are made whole again
They play all day with each other
There is only one thing missing
They are not with their 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
The nose twitches! The ears are up! The eyes are staring!
And this one suddenly runs from the group!
You have been seen, and when you and your special friend meet
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 you cross the Rainbow Bridge together
Never again to be separated…
