William N. Britton
Just
this side of Heaven is a place called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many
colors. When a beloved pet dies,
who has been especially close to a person here on earth, then
that pet goes to the Rainbow Bridge.
There
are beautiful meadows and grassy hills there for all our special friends so they
can run and play together. There is
always plenty of their favorite food to eat, plenty of fresh spring water for
them to drink,
and every day is filled with sunshine so
our little friends are warm and comfortable. All
the pets who had been ill or old and frail are young again. Those that had been hurt or maimed are now whole and strong again,
just
as we remembered them in our dreams of days gone by.
The
pets we loved are happy and content except for one small thing. Each one misses their special person who
loved them on earth.
They
all run and play together, but the day comes when one of them suddenly stops
playing and looks to the distant hills. The
nose twitches. The ears are up. The eyes are staring.
It
will be as if he has heard a whistle or was given a signal of some kind. His
eyes are bright and intent. His
body begins to quiver.
All
at once he breaks away from the group, flying like a deer over the green grass. His little legs carry him faster and faster, you have been seen,
and when
you and your special friend meet, you
take him or her in your arms and embrace. Happy
kisses rain upon you. Your hands
once again caress the beloved head.
You
look once more onto the eyes of our pet so long gone from your life, but never
gone from your heart.
Then
with your beloved pet by your side, you will cross the Rainbow Bridge, never to
be separated again.
Your
Sacred Circle is now complete again.
