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 remembered 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 Rainbow Bridge together .............

I got this poem from my vet and his wife.( He is our vet and also a good friend), at the loss of my dog and friend Sugar in
Sept.2004.He took care of her during the last 2 weeks of her life, and he did all he could. Thank you Jim and Kim.
Then the next evening this rainbow appeared, and I could see it out my living room window and took the picture..
I had to do this page in Tribute to Sugar. I still miss her a lot. |
