Our guinea pig Snow died this morning after a long fight with antibiotic complications.
We wrote this poem for her.-

Snow you struggle for your life
We watch you as so hard you fight
We know for us you tried to live
But as you leave we will forgive

We understand that you must go
Your fur and eyes have lost their glow
Your body's weak, You fight for breath
We dont know where you get the strength thats left

We cry as we watch your painful days
We prayed and cried and wished you'd stay
We know we're selfish and you must go
You need to know we love you Snow

We hold you tight and comfort you
When will this ordeal be through
We've seen you struggle hard and long
We never knew you'd be so strong

Your funny face is now so sad
Remember how your games made Devin glad
You were a good pet and gave lots of love
I hope you know we loved you too
We tried and tried to pull you through
You've done your work, your time is through
I hope you know we loved you too-

Your heart must ache to leave your boys
The owners to whom you brought great joy
They cry for you they loved you so
But in their heart they know you must go

The boys you live with are broken hearted
Their beautiful pet is soon departed
They never knew how deep the ache
A little life, An impact you'd make

You've brought to the surface so many fears
Of broken hearts and suppressed tears
You've taught them lessons of love and life

Your pretty pink nose and extra toes
Your different from the average pig
Your imperfect body with a heart so big
Such lessons you have taught us well
Their eyes with tears now painfully swell
Your differences make you so unique
We loved to hear your little squeak

Although we know that you must go
You need to know we love you Snow

We will miss you Snow from Beth, Chris, and Devin.
