Just this side of Heaven
is a place called

Rainbow Bridge

There is a bridge connecting Heaven
and Earth. It is called  
Rainbow Bridge
because of its many colors.

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 and 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 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.

The bright eyes are intent;
the 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.

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 over the Rainbow
Bridge together.......
never again to be separated."

A new welcome
at
Rainbow Bridge.
Some souls pass through this life time
like a gentle summer rain.
They touch our hearts and then
return to heaven once again.

Gone from our sight,  
but never our memories ---
Gone from our touch,  
but never our hearts ---
Gone But Not Forgotten.
