~ 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 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 have 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 begins to quiver.

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 the Rainbow Bridge together.

I have been blessed in my life with wonderful pets
that are no longer here on earth with me.
The "Rainbow Bridge" poem made me feel peaceful,
knowing, I will see them all again one day.

I hope this poem has given you peace, too.

My sweet Peppy. I was blessed to have Peppy for almost 20 years.

My happy-go-lucky cocker spaniel, Buttons and my beautiful Maine Coon cat, Kitty Muffin.

My daughter, Misty and Buttons as a little puppy and her as a wee little girl.

My daughter, Misty and her family's precious Nicole. Nicole went to the Rainbow Bridge 2004.

I count myself so very lucky to have had these pets
in my life. I miss them very much, and they will always
be in my heart until I see them again on the Rainbow Bridge.
