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 lane 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
to be separated again.
