Sassy Lane Boxers

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 are not with the special person who loved them on Earth. So each day they run and play until the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up! Then, the nose twitches! The ears are up! The eyes are staring! You have been seen, 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.

I’ll Wait For You

              The Rainbow Bridge isn’t very far you know

                And here, I can jump and play.

                There are fields to roam, hills to climb, and so

                Much fun with furry friends each days.

                I wish you wouldn’t cry and mourn so much,

                Cause I’ll be waiting here for you…

                And when you come, I’ll feel your touch,

                Then hear your voice so true.

                Then, side by side, content we’ll be

                To cross the bridge together;

                And peace and happiness, you’ll see

                Will be ours to have…forever
