Fairy

Under the shade of the avocado tree,
Lies buried a young guineapig that we call Fairy,
She spent all her days eating with her Mum,
And playing with the kids in the midday sun.

Its the little things in life that make it very special.
And these little things we take for granted each and every day,
Like a guinea pig lying there waiting for her Mum,
So they can travel onto heaven and never be alone.
