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.

So sad that this happened. Your poem for her says it all, Francine. Wish I knew what to say. I know you are all still grieving. My deepest sympathy for your loss.

heartbreaking write, my friend. I know nothing I could do or say would help, but I just want you to know that you - and your family - are in my thoughts and prayers. Thanks - loved the contest x

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

Oh goodness, what a sad event. It is so heartbreaking, my heart goes out to you. 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
