The Rainbow Bridge                                        

                                                     Part II

                  Some of the animals are different.  They were beaten, starved, tortured,

                  and unloved.  They watch wistfully as their friends leave one by one,

                  to cross the bridge with their special person.  For them there is no one,

                  no special one.  Their time on earth did not give them one.

                  But one day, as they run and play, they notice someone standing by the

                  road to the bridge.  This person wistfully watches the reunions of friends,

                  for in their life, they had no pet.  They were beaten, starved, tortured and

                  unloved.

                  As they stand there alone, one of the unloved pets comes up to them,

                  curious as to why this one is alone.  And as they get nearer to each other,

                  a miracle occurs, for these are the ones who were meant to be together.

                  Their special person, their beloved pet, although on earth they never met.

                  With the meeting of two souls, the pain and the sorrow disappears, and

                  two friends are together.

                  Then they cross the Rainbow Bridge, never again to be separated.
