In Memory of Chewy

In loving memory of Chewy, my guinea pig friend,
Whose gentle soul touched mine, until the end.
A guinea pig with a heart so pure and kind,
You were the one who rescued me, in my mind.
Four years ago, we found each other,
Your soft, black and white fur and eyes so full of light,
Brought warmth and joy into my darkest nights.
With every squeak, you brightened up my days.
A tiny creature but with a spirit so strong,
Now, my Chewy, you've crossed the Rainbow Bridge,
Leaving footprints in my heart, 
 where my memories of you will forever remain
Amongst the peaceful meadows, where rainbows can be seen,
A cherished guardian angel, for eternity.
 Chewy, may your spirit forever rise,
As you find Oreo in celestial skies,
Thank you for the joy, filling that empty space 
Rest well, my Chewy, in that sacred, heavenly space.
