Together Again

Two little guinea pigs given away by their mom,

They could not help but wonder what they had done.

They did not know how lucky they were,

When Mark, Mrs Mark, Katie and Lucy came into the store.

They went into a home all filled with love;

Two little girls played with them as their mom watched from above.

Bubble went first, and Merlin was sad;

Now Merlin is back and Bubble is glad.

They both are looking down, and watching the family they loved,

And saying to each other how lucky they were.

Now it is time to run around and not be sad:

They know we are in heaven, so they will be glad;

‘We both thank you so much for the great life we had.’

Love

Bubble and Merlin

[Note from Mark: In August 2017, the second of our two guinea pigs, Merlin, passed away - a little over six months after his brother Bubble. I was so touched when, shortly after, Ethan penned this beautiful poem in their memory]
