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....
