Rainbow Bridge: Pet Grief Poem

There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth.
It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of the 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 warm spring weather.
The old and frail 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 them in your arms and embrace.
Your face is kissed again and again and again,
and you look once more into the eyes of your trusted friend.
Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together,
never to be separated again.
