We had this poemed shared with us by one of our families who visited recently. I thought I would put this on the
website so everyone could have an opportunity to read it. It is so precious. I am not sure of who the author is.
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 the
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, water, and warm spring weather. The old and frail animals are
young again. Those who are maimed are made whole again. They
play with each other all day long.
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 again to be
separated.
