Remember the days you flew with me
Recall the days we had little games
Ya such a teeny playful thing
Forever you were part of this
God has taken its liking upon ya
Like how I always do
May ya little soul rest in peace
I returned home only to realise that the little terrapin has shut its eyes away from us, away from this world. It's hard to describe the feeling of sadness and loss. I've been in this state for a few days. And this news didn't hit me as hard. I couldn't understand why my parents and sisters didn't think such a small life is as important as ours.
I was the only one who didn't mind taking it for a bath, whom would want to play with it and gave it attention. I resent my dad for buying it and not everyone is willingly to put an effort to keep it alive. My little sister would do it some cleaning sometimes. My elder sister would shout at the little terrapin. If it has ears, it would have been a terrible shock for the poor thing.
It has been with us for a short while. Even not alive for long, it has brought great lessons to us/me where I can learn from. I've been returning late for past 4 nights, didn't have enough time to do little "games" with the little pet. Now, I see how hard it is to have a pet. Especially when you want to love it, keep it alive, make it happy, it has got a lot more than responsibility to shoulder.
I want a kitten, but only when I get independent and am able to take care of it.
