The Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of Heaven
On a sun kissed grassy ridge
There lies a wonderous place
Known as The Rainbow Bridge.

When a beloved animal friend dies
That was especially close to someone
Their gallant spirit now resides here
Where they await that very special 'One'.

Here they now spend their days frolicking
Amidst the fragant meadows and green hills
Here they patiently await their human friend
The One who has always given them such thrills.

The One who had always been so very kind to them
The One who had always been their closest friend
The One who had loved & comforted them completely
Until the day that their time on earth had come to an end.

The horse Sinders, now frolics here with other animals
But a day will come when he will pause, stop, & stare
For it will be the day his spirit now dilligently waits for
The day that he spots his very special One standing there

Sinders' now vibrant spirited body will quiver
And suddenly he will race away towards his One
Galloping faster & faster through the lush fields
Jubilant that his devoted days of waiting are now done.

And as this human & her cherished friend, Sinders
Now fondly & contentedly look into each others eyes
They will both cross this ancient "Rainbow Bridge" together
And for both human & animal - This truly will be Paradise!!
