THE
RAINBOW BRIDGE
There
is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. It is called the Rainbow
Bridge because of its many colors. Just this side of Rainbow
Bridge there is a land 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 the frail animals are young
again. Those who are maimed are made whole again. They all
play 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
one day 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 again to be separated.

I'M NOT THERE
- I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
- I could see
that you were crying, you found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you , so softly, as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm
here."
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
thinking of the times I begged, and your hand reached
down to me.
I was with you at my grave today, you tend it with such care.
- I want to re-assure you, that I
am not lying there.

THE
RAINBOW BRIDGE
By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,
Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.
Where the friends of man and woman do run,
When their
time on earth is over and done.
"For
here, between this world and the next,
Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.
On this golden land, they wait and they play,
Till the
Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.
No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,
For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.
Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,
Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.
They romp through the grass, without even a care,
Until one day they start, and sniff at the air.
All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,
Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.
For just at that instant, their eyes have met;
Together again, both person and pet.
So they run to each other, these friends from long past,
The time of their parting is over at last.
The sadness they felt while they were apart,
Has turned into joy once more in each heart.
They embrace with a love that will last forever,
And then, side-by-side, they cross over … together.

COME
HOME TO BE WITH ME
-
You looked so
very tired when you sank into the chair.
-
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew....
-
In the stillness of that evening, I was so very close to you.
It's possible for me, to be so near you every
day.
-
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."
And when the time is right for you, to cross the brief
divide,
-
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll walk then, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to
see.
-
Be patient, live your journey out... then come home to be with
me.

THE
RAINBOW BRIDGE
STORY
Just
this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When
an animal who has been especially close to someone dies, that
pet goes to the 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 and water and sunshine, and our friends
are warm and comfortable.
Animals
who were 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 from days and times gone by.
The
animals are happy and content, except for one thing: they miss
someone very special to them; the person they left behind.
All
of the animals 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 break away
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. 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…
