The Rainbow Bridge

Poem

Support The Rainbow Bridge

Between Earth and Paradise, stands the Rainbow Bridge...

There is a bridge connecting heaven and earth. It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors. Just this side of the 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. Those 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 staring and this one suddenly runs from the group. You have been seen, and when you and your pet meet you take him or her into your arms and embrace. 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 to be parted again.
