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.
Speedy
have spotted me,
and
when I and my darling Speedy finally meet again,
we
cling together in joyous reunion,
-never
to be parted again.
His
happy kisses rain upon my face;
my
hands again caress the beloved head,
and
I look once more into the trusting eyes of my baby
-so
long gone from my life - but never absent from my heart.
Then
we cross Rainbow Bridge together ...
