The Rainbow Bridge Poem by Tayla Fankhauser

Time is
Too slow for those who wait,
Too swift for those who fear,
Too long for those who grieve
Too short for those who rejoice
But for those who love,
Time is not.

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 is a land of
Meadows, hills and valleys, all of it covered with lush
Green grass.
When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this lovely
Land. There is always food and water and warm spring
Weather. There, the old and frail animals are young again.
Those who are maimed are made whole once more. They
Play all day with each other, content and comfortable.
There is only one thing missing. They not with the
Special person who loved them on Earth. So each day they run and play until the day comes when one suddenly.
Stop playing and looks up! Then, the nose twitches! The eyes are staring! You have been see, and that one suddenly runs from the group! You take him or her in your arms and embrace. Your face is kissed again and again and again, and you look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet.
Then, together, you cross the rainbow bridge, never again to be separated.
