For Kat-
I held your hand
as you learned to walk
and with tiny fingers,
you held my heart.
I wiped the tears
whenever you fell
and picked you up
for you to go again.
As the years passed by,
I watched you grow
tall, strong, beautiful,
and full of life.
Sometimes we laughed,
sometimes we cried,
holding on to each other
through the good and bad times.
So sure of yourself
and determined to fly,
you tried out your wings
and vanished into the night.
The shadows have darkened,
no longer warmed by your light;
Your memory is close
but you're no where in sight.
You know I will miss you
with each passing day
and hold you close to me
and love you always.
I love you, Kitten
Love----Mom

for 8 years and volunteered at Girl Scout Camp, working
with the camp horses and teaching other girls to ride.
A memorial is established through the Ouachita Girl
