Sep 2015
She was found there, by the shoreline, hidden in a plastic bag,
where the ebb and flow of Ocean beat upon Deer Island’s sand.
A little girl, just two years old, in a bright jumper clad
A little beauty beat to death by some brute of a man.

No one could identify the body they had found
so police employed an artist to help them solve the case.
His rendering of “baby Doe” went up all over town.
Soon it was on the internet. “Do you recognize this face?”

They broke the case last Thursday, they finally had her name.
Her Mother and the boyfriend were arrested and arraigned.
Each condemned the other for the ****** of the Babe.
A bronze fawn now commemorates the spot where she was slain.
Bella Bond was a toddler who was murdered by her Mother’s boyfriend and whose mother then abandoned the body in a garbage bag on the Shore of Deer Island in Boston harbor. At the spot where the body was found there has been erected a bronze fawn and a plaque commemorating her brief life.
