Bye Bye Hammy


Little hamster soft and sweet

very fuzzy and loves too eat

squeaking running wheel at night

after we turn off the light



You were Joshua's before you were mine

on the finest hamster food you did dine

Hammy was your given name

and now nothing will be the same



To find you dying and struggling to breathe

was a fact we just couldn't conceive

We held you close and said our goodbyes

wishing you didn't have to die



Good bye little hamster, good bye sweet pet

In your grave at Joshua's cross now do you set

May your little spirit soar right up above

And find our big brother Josh and give him our love

I am visiting through the black box. I was so sad to read about your losses. Such a young boy and his pet. Please know I will not soon forget the story of Joshua. My prayers were sent your way. Peace.

Coloradolady: Thank you for stopping by. I loved the horned toads on you blog. :)

Ladybanana: Such an interesting name. I do love your kitty. She is darling. Thank you for you kind comments.

Poshtotty: Thank you for stopping by and commenting. So sorry to hear of your son's hamster loss as well. It is sad when our children lose someone or something they love. It is hard to know how to help them cope with loss and death of even a little pet hamster.

I arrived here through the Black Box. I am so sorry for your loss.....Your son sounded like a very special youg man.

So sorry about Hammy. Hamsters are such cute little pets. I had one when I was around the age of 10. His name was Patrick and he lived for five years, which is a long life for a hamster.

Blessings and Beautiful Days to you and your family.........

Deserthen: I believe each child is a special and wonderful creation. I am lucky to have had him for the almost 11 years I got to be his Mom.

5 years is a long time for a hamster. :)
