When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place. There
is always food, water and warm spring weather. The old and
frail animals are young again. Those who were maimed are
made whole 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 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 friend.
Then you cross The Rainbow Bridge together, never again to
be separated....

If it should be that I grow weak,
And pain should keep me from my sleep.
Then you must do what must be done,
For this last battle cannot be won.
You will be sad, I understand,
Don't let your grief then stay your hand,
For this
day more than all the rest,
Your love for me must stand the test.
We've had so many happy years,
What is to come can hold no fears,
You'd not want me to suffer so,
The time has come, please let me go.
Take me where my need they'll tend,
And please stay with me until the end,
I know in time that you will see,
The kindness that you did for me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I've been saved.
Please do not
grieve, it must be you
Who had this painful thing to do,
We've been so close, we two, these years,
Don't let
your heart hold back its tears.
