(FOR ABUSED ANIMALS AND HUMANS)


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 are different.
They 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 in their life,
they had no pet.
They were beaten, starved, tortured,
and unloved.

As they stand there alone,
one of the unloved pets comes up to them,
curious as to why this one is alone.
And as the they get nearer to each other,
a miracle occurs,
for these are the ones who were
meant to be together.
Their special person, their beloved pet,
although on Earth they never met.
With the meeting of two souls,
the pain and the sorrow disappears,
and two friends are together.

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