The Rainbow Bridge

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 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 remember 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.......

Finally found the other one I was looking for.

IF IT SHOULD BE ....

If it should be that I grow frail and weak

And pain should keep me from my sleep,

Then you must do what must be done

For this, the last battle, canâ€™t be won.

You will be sad, I understand

Donâ€™t let your grief then stay your hand

For this day, more than the rest

Your love and friendship stand the test.

Weâ€™ve had so many happy years

What is to come can hold no fears

Youâ€™d not want me to suffer so

When the time comes, please let me go

I know in time you will see

It is a kindness you do to me

Although my tail its last has waved

From pain and suffering I have been saved.

Donâ€™t grieve it should be you

Who has to decide this thing to do

Weâ€™ve been so close â€“ we two these years

Donâ€™t let your heart hold any tears.
