A Poem For Chewbacca and his best friend SammyBingo

[Womblehands]

I know you are nervous as you pace up and down.
Although I can't see it, I sense that you frown.
You're sad today and yes, I know why;
The decision you've reached has made you cry.

Weep not for me nor for what you must do.
What a wonderful life I've had here with you.
Where could a stray with no place to go
Be accepted so easily by those she didn't know.

I've had freedom to run and good food to eat;
Someone to play with and a warm place to sleep.
But as you are growing, I'm fading away;
And I've gotten old and can no longer play.

I don't see anymore nor hear very much;
Sleep most of the time, respond slightly to touch.
Yes, my dear friend, I have given my all;
For my short years I've lived life to it's full.

I'm ready to go. Now is the time.
Let's go to the Vet, don't change your mind.
You'll stay with me till I go to sleep,
And then bowing your head you'll softly weep.

Maybe not right away, but in time to come,
You'll understand you were my dearest friend

You guys! And you Womblehands! I'd just got my nose dry and my face a normal colour! If hamsters could write (and if hamsters could write, I'm pretty certain he'd be the one with the Crayola actually writing gibberish) I think that would be the message any of them would have towards the end . So beautiful.

I'll have to answer the door all snotty faced now! You pests .
