Francine Roberts Poet Rhyme

Scarlett

Ten little fingers,
Ten little toes.
Perfect little eyes,
A perfect little nose.
Something wrong inside,
A cure no one knows.

Twenty five days
Before she had to leave.
Twenty five days
And now we all grieve.
God's taken her home,
That's what we believe.

Ten little fingers,
Ten little toes.
Scarlett has left us
As tears of sorrow flow.

Carolyn Devonshire May 31, 2014 at 2:48 PM Dear Francine, How sad that she appeared healthy, but lived such a short life. I just wanted you to know that "Mystic Rose" has posted a poem about Scarlett. The only comfort some of us have when we lose someone is believing we shall meet them again in heaven. Blessings to you, dear. Love, Carolyn

It is a wonder why God calls back his little angels so quickly into his arms, but to have faith she is there waiting, it is a blessing she had and has love. peace be to all those whose lives are touched by this. xox
