Her Own Family Did Not Appear To Care
Katie Kay’s time was mostly spent with us.
She had six older sisters and brothers.
She was my daughter’s best friend with no fuss.
Family, I became one of her mothers.
Katie had a magical angel’s voice.
We learned this during a holiday play.
Our family sat in front as was our choice.
Katie’s family sat not too far away.
Curtains parted and Katie Kay was there.
Opened her mouth and had me mesmerized.
Her own family did not appear to care.
Her beautiful voice brought tears to my eyes.
I encouraged her to come more often.
Wishing her family I could help soften.
