...In Memory Of
|
There is a bridge connecting Heaven and
Earth. It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors.
Just this side of 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.
The old and the frail animals are young again. Those who are maimed
are made whole again. They all play 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 one day 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 or her 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.

I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying, you found it hard to
sleep.
I whined to you, so softly, as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
Thinking of the times I begged, and your hand reached
down to me.
I was with you at my grave today, you tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there. |

You looked so very tired when you sank into the chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew....
In the stillness of that evening, I was so very close to you.
It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."
And when the time is right for you, to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll walk then, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out... then come home to be with me.

THE RAINBOW BRIDGE
By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,
Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.
Where the friends of man and woman do run,
When their time on earth is over and done.
"For here, between this world and the next,
Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.
On this golden land, they wait and they play,
Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.
No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,
For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.
Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,
Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.
They romp through the grass, without even a care,
Until one day they start, and sniff at the air.
All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,
Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.
For just at that instant, their eyes have met;
Together again, both person and pet.
So they run to each other, these friends from long past,
The time of their parting is over at last.
The sadness they felt while they were apart,
Has turned into joy once more in each heart.
They embrace with a love that will last forever,
And then, side-by-side, they cross over … together.

THE RAINBOW BRIDGE STORY
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow
Bridge.
When an animal who has been especially close to
someone dies, that pet goes to the 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.
Animals who were 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 from days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one
thing: they miss someone very special to them; the person they left
behind.
All of the animals run and play together, but the day
comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright
eyes are intent; his 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. 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…

A BREEDER'S TALE
I love my little puppy, he makes
my house a home,
He always is my best friend, I never feel alone.
He makes me smile, he makes me laugh, he fills my heart with love,
Did some breeder breed him? Was he sent from heaven above?
I've never been a breeder, or seen life through their eyes
I hold my little puppy, just sit and criticize.
I've never know their anguish, I've never felt their pain,
The caring of their charges, through snow or wind or rain.
I've never waited all night long for puppies to be born,
The stress and trepidation when they're still not there by dawn....
I've never felt the heartache of a little life in my hands,
A darling little puppy who weighs just 60 grams !!
Should you do this instead of that? Or just pray to God?
Alone you fight, and hope one day he'll grow into a dog.
Bring joy to another being and make a house a home.
You know it's all just up to you, you fight this fight alone.
Formula, bottle, heating pads you've got to get this right,
Two hourly feeds for this little mite throughout the day and night.
In your heart you know it, you'll surely lose the fight
To save this little baby, but God willing, you just might....
Day one he's in there fighting, you say a silent prayer,
Day two and three he's doing well, with lots of loving care
Day four and five - he's still alive your hopes soar to the heavens!
Day six he slips away again, dies in your hands day seven.
You take this little angel and
bury him alone,
With aching heart and burning tears, (and an exhausted groan),
You ask yourself, Why do this? Why suffer all the pain?
But see the joy that puppies bring - it really self explains!
So, when you think of breeders and label them with "greed"
Think what they sometimes endure to fill another 's need
And when you buy a puppy, with pounds and pence you part.
You only pay with money........
We pay with our hearts.
