Katie Bear

I am a girl
I am but three
My mommy and daddy,
both love me.

But still every night,
I lie in bed with tears.
for my friend
Katie Bear.

I ask my mommy and daddy,
"Why does Katie get hurt?"
Mommy and daddy, hold me tight,
and try and tell me why.

I've seen it for real,
what happens to her,
they scream and yell at katie bear,
for saying "I love you Mommy"

her daddy is drinking a brown sorta liquid.
her mommy too is fascinated with needles,
I dont know why though
they hurt really bad.

Maybe thats why Katie's mommy's so mad.
But i have to know,
so I ask my mom,
"Why didn't Katie show up for school?"

Mommy's face changed real quick
and she ran to the phone and said "Mick..."
Why are you crying mommy and daddy?
What is going on with Katie bear?

Daddy tells me real quiet and soft,
"Honey Katie is with god right now."
I dont know what he means but it is good right?
I think.

I ask daddy if she will be in school the next day
but he shakes his head slowly
and so i ask again, "daddy when will i see her again"
at that he starts to cry and says, "Honey Katies dead."
