Robyn Scott Poet Free verse

Sometime Between 10:47 Am and 11:02 Am

Sweet heart 
Sweet baby

I promised I would take you to the Ocean
Your Soul does not belong in a little box 
Your Spirit is too big to be confined
I know that you are already gone but I cannot let go of you just yet 

Sweet heart 
Sweet baby 

I promise I will, one day, take you down to the water so that you can see 
the whole world and all of the oceans

I cannot do that today

Sweet heart 
Sweet baby

I need your beautiful box close to me when I go to sleep, when I wake up
I want to keep you a little longer
I have so many more lives to live before I get to the place where you are now 
I know you led a beautiful sweet life
I know that your journey leads you to a more beautiful place
I need to keep you here with me 

Thank you for letting me keep you here with me

I love you 
Sweet heart
Sweet baby
 
You came to visit me in the sunshine and in the wind 
Most of the time you're gone 

You took a little piece of my heart and soul with you on your journey
You let me keep a little piece of your heart and soul here with me in return
 
It was the best exchange I ever made
