The sun sparkled on the blue water
and reflected off the pool chair
It was early in the day
the water still cool.
Just an ordinary day
How could anyone passing by
see the horror that lay beneath?
Short curly red hair floating
3 year old arms extended out
Her little white sun-dress drifting
Face down she lay
What had caused her to take that
fatal plunge we would never know
A hole in the fence was later fixed
But we could not get her back
Her mother screamed when she found her
until the screams became silent
Rescue attempts were useless
Our little angel was gone.
