I stood by your bed, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying, you found it hard to sleep.
 
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
It's me I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here.
 
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you drink your hot tea,
You were thinking of the many times your hands reached down to me.
 
I was with you at my grave today, You tend to it with so much care.
I want to re-assure you that I'm not lying there.
 
I walked with you to the place we lived, I gently put my paw on you,
I smiled and said it's me .
 
You looked so very tired, and sank back into your wheel chair,
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
 
It's possible for me to be so near to you everyday,
To say to you with certainty, I never went away.
 
You sat there very quietly , then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that night, I was very close to you.
 
The day is over, I smiled and watched you yawning and say,
Good night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning.
 
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
 
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out...then come home to be with me,
my faithful friend and companion,
 
In loving memory of the passing of my beloved blessed doggie,

Waiting For You Across Rainbow Bridge
 

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
