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
and water, and warm spring weather. The old and frail animals are
young again. Those who have been maimed are made whole again. They
play all day with each other.
But 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 away from the group!
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend
finally
meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again.
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.
Some of the animals at the bridge are different. They
were beaten,
starved, tortured, and unloved. They watch wistfully as their friends
leave one by one, to cross the bridge with their special person. For
them
there is no one, no special one. Their time on Earth did not give them
one.
But one day, as they run and play, they notice someone
standing by the
road to the bridge. This person wistfully watches the reunions of friends,
for in their life, they had no pet. They were beaten, starved, tortured,
and
unloved.
As they stand there alone, one of the unloved pets comes
up to them,
curious as to why this one is alone. And as they get nearer to each
other,
a miracle occurs, for these are the ones who were meant to be together.
Their special person, their beloved pet, although on Earth they never
met.
With the meeting of two souls, the pain and the sorrow disappears, and
two friends are together.
Then they cross the Rainbow Bridge together
never again to be separated.
