Little One

It was an early August evening
and the rain was pouring down
and she came to meet me 
oh so far from town

It was the first time that I met her 
I didn`t know her name
so I called her little one
and wasoh so glad she came

she was oh so pretty
with her hair the darkest red 
thde thought of ever losinghr
filled my heart with dread

I looked into those haunting eyes
that go from blue to grey
and when syhe smiled at me 
I could think of nought to say

She was so small amd fragile
like a doll upon a shelf
If God has maade on e better 
he kept it for HIMSELF

we seemed to talk forever
far along into the night
and sooner than we thought it would 
there came the morning light

Now I hope that my best friend
is whar she`ll always be
this girl i call my little one 
that means so much to me
