Rainbow bridge.

A poem that helps me when I lose one of my animal family, reaches the end.

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...

...Up on the Downs

I've got a few special creatures over there, some true soulmates who loved me as much as I loved them.

Wow I can't believe you've posted this, as I have been reading this poem over the last 2 weeks.

I lost my beautiful spaniel 2 weeks ago to cancer - right I'm going, I thought I was ok but my eyes are filling up again .....

One day, my dog will join his dad at rainbow bridge, and one day, I shall be there with them, hopefully along with my cat.

Does that mean rainbow bridge is at the bottom of my garden?

Before you all moan at my insensitivity I always get rescue dogs and re-home them! Gives them a spark of happiness in their last years before I'm digging another hole.

There is actually a Rainbow Bridge in Utah. I visited it in May this year and it is a sacred place for the Navajo Indians who do not permit anyone to go under it. Its the largest natural bridge in the world. Just thought I'd mention it.
