The Rainbow Bridge

The Rainbow Bridge

There is a place 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 made young again.

They play all day with each other.

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 runs from the group!

You have been seen, and when you and your special friend meet,

you take him or her in your arms and embrace.

Your face is kissed again and again and you look once more

into the eyes of your trusting pet.

Then you cross over the Rainbow Bridge together,

never again to be seperated.

I do not know who wrote this piece and it does not come with anything other than the words. And I think that is fitting, because any one who has ever lost a pet can feel this in their heart. While I have set her copying this, I have been remembering the pets I have lost. Some of them have already left the meadow with Kenny, but I know some will be waiting for me!

The only one I am not sure about is that Rowdy Bird. That was Kenny's Indian Ring Neck Blue Parrot. Rowdy died of lead poisoning a couple years after Kenny, but since he could fly I think Kenny probably went back to the meadow with Chile Dog and Sysnck and Rowdy flew on over. At least I think so.
