I think Gini is right; I just read a copy of the original poem at the Labsr4u site yesterday; while the basic sentiment was the same, it was worded a bit differently than what Paul posted and said the original author was unknown. www.bestfriends.com, on their "Prayers, Healing and Support" forum, also has a major site just for "Rainbow Bridge" postings and they know a lot about it. Good Luck
