Just this side of heaven
is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been
especially close to someone here
that pet goes to 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. His bright eyes are intent;
His eager body quivers.
Suddenly he begins to run from the group
flying over the green grass
his legs carrying him 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 hands 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 Rainbow Bridge together....
