There is a bridge connecting Heaven and
Earth. It is called the Rainbow Bridge because
of it’s many colors. Just this side of the
Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows,
hills and villages with lush green grass.
When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place.
There is always food and water and warn spring
weather. The old and frail animals are young again.
Those who are ill or injured or maimed are made
whole again. They play all day with each other.
There is only one thing missing. They are not with
their special people who loved them on Earth. So
each day they run and play until the day comes
when one – and sometimes several at once – suddenly
stops playing and looks up! The nose twitches! The
ears perk up! The eyes staring! Then this one,
or two or more, suddenly runs from the group!
You have been seen, and when you and your
special friend or friends meet, you take each into
your arms and embrace. Your face is kissed again
and again, and you look once more into these special
eyes. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together,
never again to be separated. We’ll see you at the
end of the Rainbow Bridge someday.
This poem is for everyone who has known the love of special member of your family, your pet.
