Meet Me At The Rainbow Bridge – Funeral Memorial Poetry Read by Marc Lemezma

Pets are such an important part of many people’s lives. They provide companionship, unconditional love, and bring immense joy to our daily routines. Their presence often turns a house into a home, and their loyalty and affection are treasured by their human families.

When we lose our favorite pet, it can seem as painful as losing a member of the family. The grief is profound and the void left behind is substantial. Pets occupy a unique place in our hearts, and their loss can bring about intense feelings of sorrow and loneliness.

And when a person passes on, their pets often feel bemused and confused, genuinely sensing the loss of their owner. The bond between a pet and their owner is strong and enduring, often leading pets to exhibit signs of grief, such as searching for their owner, changes in behavior, or even becoming withdrawn.

This poem of unknown origin is often used to symbolize the love shared and the loss felt by pets and their owners. It talks of a mythical place where they will be reunited in due time, offering comfort and hope to those grieving the loss of a beloved pet or loved one.

Meet Me at the Rainbow Bridge

When you feel a little lonely
And all you want is me
Just place a hand upon your heart
And you know that’s where I’ll be
I know how much you’re hurting
But remember me and smile
I know we are apart right now
But it’s only for a while
Take comfort that I’m happy
Where the sky is always blue
I’ll be waiting at the Rainbow Bridge
When Heaven calls for you
Anon
