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.
Some of them here
by the Bridge are different.
These pets were beaten, starved, tortured,
and unloved.
They watch wistfully as their friends leave one by one,
to
cross the bridge
with their special person.
For them there is no one,
no special one.
Their time on earth did not give them one.
But one day, as
they run and play, they notice someone standing
by the road to the
bridge.
This person wistfully watches the reunions of friends,
for
during life, this person had no pet.
This person was beaten, starved,
tortured, and unloved.
Standing there
alone, one of the unloved pets approaches,
curious as to why this one
is alone.
And as the unloved pet and the unloved person get
nearer to
each other,
a miracle occurs, for these are the ones who were meant to
be together,
the special person and the beloved pet who never had the
chance
to meet while on Earth.
Finally, now, at the edge of the Rainbow
Bridge,
their souls meet, the pain and the sorrow disappears,
and two
friends are together.
They cross the
Rainbow Bridge together,
never again to be separated.
