1. RAINBOW BRIDGE

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

   When an animal dies who 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….

   TO LOVE AGAIN

   Oh what unhappy twist of fate
   Has brought you homeless to my gate,
   The gate where once another stood
   To beg for shelter, warmth and food?

   For from that day I ceased to be
   The master of my destiny,
   While she, with purr and velvet paw
   Became within my house the law.

   She scratched the furniture and shed
   And claimed the middle of my bed,
   She ruled in arrogance and pride
   And broke my heart the day she died.

   So if you really think, oh cat
   I’d willingly relive all that,
   Because you come forlorn and thin
   Well don’t just stand there – come on in!

2. WE HAVE A SECRET

   We have a secret, you and I
   that no one else shall know,
   for who but I can see you lie
   each night in fire glow?

   And who but I can reach my hand
   before we go to bed
   and feel the living warmth of you
   and touch your silken head?

   And only I walk woodland paths
   and see ahead of me,
   your small form racing with the wind
   so young again, and free.

   And only I can see you swim
   in every brook I pass
   and when I call, no one but I
   can see the bending grass.
