A Hamster Named Wiskers

On new years eve you came to me in a little cage as cute as could be so happy and full of life you were with a little pink nose and soft brown fur everyday in your cage you would run on the ground or inside your ball you would spin round and round making everyone laugh with your soft little squeak in my palm you would sleep looking so sweet but on christmas eve when you closed your eyes while laying in my hand you did not wake to my cries you stayed very still as if just in sleep I pulled you to my chest and started to weep In my mind swam pictures of what we had done that one year of your life had been full of much fun that's when my mom came in and saw you there my dad took you from me with the greatest of care I wanted to bury you out in the lawn but my dad said no and then you were gone Goodbye wiskers your story may end but I will still count you my very best friend 11-1-2013
