About 2 years ago, my sister brought a pearl white female hamster home. We named her Snowy and took really good care of her. She was so pretty, with her big, shining eyes and shiny near snow-white fur, constantly responsive to the people and environment around her. She liked to peep from her mushroom house's window and run vigorously on the exercise wheel in the middle of the night. Life comes and go, she passed away on 16th October 2003. Our family was devastated by her passing, especially my sister. This is a poem written by my sister a few days after our darling died. I dedicate this post to my sister.Upon this day I reminisceWith sadness and regretThe loss of my beloved SnowyA special 'child' which was my petIt has been days of longing Wishing you would return to me.....Nothing has made it easierTo go from day to dayNo one can understandThe special role your life did play For everyday you were a partOf love and joy and lifeYou had a way that focused meAnd lessened daily strifeI would hurry home to see your faceThose bright, twinkling eyesBrightened up the worst of daysAnd now I sit, with eyes tear-filled, You are not by my side;Emotions, they are raw today,I am simply torn apartFor hollow, wrenching feelingsTear apart this relady very broken heartAn emptiness that is deeper than the oceansFill my soulA painful hunger bitesMy inner self, beyond controlYou filled the void my darling one,My sweet and lovely petI see you as I turn each stepI yearn for you each dayOh little one, I miss you so,Much more than words can say.
