The animals are happy and content,
except for one small thing:
they 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.
The bright eyes are intent; the eager body quivers.
Suddenly he begins to break away 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...
