Thoughts of a Saved Ferret
(Dedicated to Winkwomp)
by:  Stephanie Gilbert
 
I won't remember my cramped cage
Or how my nips made you enraged.
I won't recall my emotional scars
Or seeking friends beyond the bars.
I won't remember the lonely days
Or empty bowls when you're away.
I won't remember lying in waste
While seeing your uncaring face.
 
The one I will remember now
Unlocks the cage and lets me out.
She saved my life, was heaven sent.
I call her "Mom"; she's my best friend.
She comforts me when I am scared.
Sweet dreams replaced all my nightmares.
She gives me love I never knew.
I kiss her face, I love her too.
She hugs me close, puts me to bed,
And whispers I saved her instead.
