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

      When an animal dies that 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....

"Baggage"
(The Meaning of Rescue)

Now that I'm home, bathed, settled and fed,
All nicely tucked in my warm new bed.
I'd like to open my baggage
Lest I forget,
There is so much to carry -
So much to regret.
Hmm . . . Yes there it is, right on the top
Let's unpack Loneliness, Heartache and Loss,
And there by my leash hides Fear and Shame.
As I look on these things I tried so hard to leave -
I still have to unpack my baggage called Pain.
I loved them, the others, the ones who left me,
But I wasn't good enough - for they didn't want me.
Will you add to my baggage?
Will you help me unpack?
Or will you just look at my things -
And take me right back?
Do you have the time to help me unpack?
To put away my baggage,
To never repack?
I pray that you do - I'm so tired you see,
But I do come with baggage -
Will you still want me?
