Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

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, 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 each miss someone very special, someone who was left behind.
They all 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 begins to quiver. Suddenly, he breaks from the group, flying over the green grass, 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 those trusting eyes, so long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated.

A Time To Remember

They come into our lives for such a short time, a time we wouldn't trade not even for a dime.

Then before you know it the years have flown by and then all of a sudden we're saying good-bye.

It wasn't that long ago we said our good-byes.

We held on to you tight as you closed your eyes.

Your spirit has flown home on the wings of a dove into God's loving arms; in heaven above.

Over the days we've shed many tears
but the memories we have will live on for years.

We feel your presence and we know that you are near

You're keeping us safe and calming our fears.

We think about memories from years past when you were young and strong and ran so fast.

We remember all the great times that we all had.

How you always made us happy never made us mad.

They were the best and happiest years we had.

We'll always look back on them and never be sad.

We look forward to the time we'll be together again and we thank the Lord for such a great friend

Now you run and play up in Heaven above cradled in God's arms covered with his love.

Playing by the Bridge waiting for the day we come down through the meadow to the bridge to stay.

The love that you showed us we'll never forget because to us you're one very special pet.

You're like a star in the dark of night
always watching over us with the Lord's light.

So now we take time to remember our best friend who will always be with us even to the end. We'll always remember you the way you were- one big lovable, huggable pile of fur.
