THE RAINBOW BRIDGE Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When a pet dies who has been especially close to a person here on earth, Then that pet goes to "Rainbow Bridge". There are beautiful meadows and grassy hills there for all our special Friends so they can run and play together. There is always plenty of their favorite food to eat, Plenty of fresh spring water for them to drink, And every day is filled with sunshine so our little friends are warm and comfortable. All the pets who had been ill or maimed are now whole and strong again, Just as we remembered them in our dreams of days gone by. The pets we loved are happy and content, except for one small thing, Each one misses someone very special who was left behind. They all run and play together, But the day comes when one of them suddenly stops and looks off into the distant hills. It will be as if he had heard a whistle or was given a signal of some kind, His eyes are bright and intent. His body begins to quiver. All at once he breaks away from the group, flying like a deer over the green grass, His little legs carry him faster and faster. You have been spotted and when you and your special friends finally meet, You hug and cling to him in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. Happy kisses rain upon your face. Your hands once again caress the beloved head. You look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet so long gone from your life. But never gone from your heart. Then, with your beloved pet by your side, You will cross the "Rainbow Bridge" together. Your Sacred Circle is now complete again.
