Dear "Otbgranny",
These poems are about your dog dying. I'm not sure if they are the ones you are enquiring about.
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, someone who was 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 begins to quiver. Suddenly, he breaks from the group, flying over the green grass, 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 those trusting eyes, so long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together...

Sequel to Rainbow Bridge
Oh, when we get to Heaven
We hope that we will find
The Souls that one we loved
Who left us all behind.
Some left at the right time,
They left this world in peace.
Others left too sudden
Without the chance to say goodbye.
They were gone before we had
The chance to even cry.
There's a special place for grownups;
A special place for kids;
Me, I'll be on the other side -
The side called Rainbow Bridge.
Across the dark green meadow,
A-top the hills I'll run,
Where the colors from the Rainbow
Glitter from the sun.
And there I'll find my sweetheart
running fast toward me,
Into my arms where he belongs
FOR ALL ETERNITY!!
Jean McColgan
Beyond the Rainbow
As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played,
I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade.
I saw a wonderous image then of a place that's trouble-free.
Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.
I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side were meadows rich and beautiful--lush and green and wide!
And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see were animals of every sort as healthy as could be!
My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new and I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do.
I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright that this place is truly wonderful, then a bright glow pierced the night.
'Twas the glow of many candles shining bright and strong and bold and I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold.
For although we may not be together in the way we used to be, we are still connected by a cord no eye can see.
So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart if you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.

I remember something about THE RAINBOW BRIDGE and found these poems about them. Maybe someone else remembers.
Love and blessings Chris
