Description

stamp for everyone who is waiting for the day to meet the beloved pet that died one day, again at rainbow bridge

I made it yesterday,I read several versions of the poem,but most were not the originals and said the author was unknown, he isn´t at all
here´s the original :

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

When a pet dies who has been especially close to a person here on earth, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.

There are beautiful meadows and grassy hills there for all our special friends so they can run and play together. There is always plenty of their favorite food to eat, plenty of fresh spring water for them to drink, and every day is filled with sunshine so our little friends are warm and comfortable.

All the pets that had been ill or old are now restored to health and youth. Those that had been hurt or maimed are now whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The pets we loved are happy and content except for one small thing. Each one misses someone very special who was left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one of them suddenly stops and looks off into the distance hills. It is as if they heard a whistle or were given a signal of some kind. Their eyes are bright and intent. Their body begins to quiver. All at once they break away from the group, flying like a deer over the grass, their little legs carrying them faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you hug and cling to them in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. Happy kisses rain upon your face. Your hands once again caress the beloved head. You look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet so long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart. Then with your beloved pet by your side, you will cross the Rainbow Bridge together. Your Sacred Circle is now complete again.




Mr. Britton is the actual author of the original poem
(as shown above). Throughout the internet there are actually several forms (or versions) of the poem above. Many of which are attributed to "anonymous".
