The tragic story of Francesca Bimpson still haunts me to this day.

I would love to have rescued you from it all

Prevented your father from having his breaking fall

Kept your family complete with you all

made you have known no pain at all

The sight of your photo makes me cry

You killed a little piece of me deep inside

because I know you should still be alive

There should never have been an arson attack

your poor young self could not survive

    dont know who this is but its so sweet to have done a poem for her, assuming its a lttle girl.(if not its still sweet.)

    Google her, she was a 3yr old little angel from Liverpool (my home town) and some nasty b@@tard set fire to her home while her family slept in the early hours. Everyone except Francesca got out, and her dad saw her briefly at her bedroom window before she disappeared. The poor little girl was so terrified she climbed back into bed – it breaks my heart, its so sad. Her father broke his ankles trying to climb up to rescue her. Francesca died about 3weeks later, suffering around 90% horrific burns.
