When I am gone, release me, let me go...
I have so many things to see and do.
You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears,
Be happy that we had so many years.
I gave you my love. You can only guess
How much you gave me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown,
But now it's time I traveled on alone.
So grieve awhile for me, if grieve you must.
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for awhile that we must part.
So bless the memories that lie within your heart.
I won't be far away, for life goes on.
So if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can't see me or touch me, I'll be near.
And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear
All of my love around you soft and clear.
And then, when you must come this way alone...
I'll greet you with a smile and a "Welcome Home."

Rainbow Bridge Poem

There is a bridge 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. Those old and frail animals are young again.
Those who have been maimed are made whole again.
They play all day with each other. But 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 suddenly runs from the group. You have been seen,
and when you and your special friend meet,
you take him in your arms and embrace.
Your face is kissed again and again and again
and you look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet.
Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated.
