Rainbow Bridge Poem

3 Answers  |  Asked By: Amycat   423   

*The Rainbow Bridge poem*

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

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, 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 remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each 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. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run 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….

This is a beautiful piece. Our vet sends a copy of this in a sympathy card with a note of where a donation was made in memory of a pet that has been put down. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a rat or cat or dog. Every animal is remembered this way.

Thank’s for posting this, Amycat. I can never read it without getting “misty eyed.” Our animals are such a gift in this life, and it is so reassuring to think they will all be waiting for us in the next. The question is, which one do I pick up first? Once again, thank’s for sharing this!!
