Faithful friend, loyal companion,

we say farewell to you now.

You have kept us warm at night,

protected our home

and offered us unconditional love.

For this we are thankful,

and we will remember you forever

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mother Earth, we return to you

the body of one of your children.

Her spirit will return to her ancestors,

and she will continue to live in our memories.

We are thankful that we were able

to share our lives with her,

and give her to your loving arms

 

 

 

 

 

Rainbow Bridge

 

There is a bridge connecting heaven and earth

It is called Rainbow Bridge because of its many colours

 

Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows,

hills, valleys with lush green grass

 

When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this special place

There is always food and water and warm spring weather

 

The old and frail are young again

Those who are 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 or her into your arms and embrace

your face is kissed 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
