Gerbil Tribute

SQUIGGLES

As we said goodbye to the pet Gerbil my daughter wrote this poem as a tribute to Squiggles, her buddy. She read this at his funeral.

My gerbil

Squiggles oh how I miss you so

How far away will you go

To the heavens up above

Where god waits for you with kindness and love

You did not spend much time on this earth

Nor did your mother when she gave you birth

When your grandpa got you from pet co.

I did not know how far our love would go

When I played with you I felt mounds of joy

And the times I was lonely you were my toy

As I bury you we’ll be farther apart

But you’ll always be special to me and my heart
