THE RAINBOW BRIDGE

(Author unknown)

There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. It is called the 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.
