The Rainbow Bridge
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 that 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....

Farewell Dear One
Farewell Dear One.
Close your loving black eyes,
And follow the silver nimbus into the land beyond.
For the time has come for you to rest your little head,
And begin your final journey.
Flutter from this planet on wings of cool gray down.
Snap the strings of your earthly bonds,
And let the tepid winds whisk you away.
Farewell dear one,
Until we meet again.
Written by me in loving memory of all of my children that have crossed the rainbow bridge.
