God Bless America, Kate Sang Poem by Patti Masterman

God Bless America, Kate Sang



God bless America, Kate sang
And I cried over and over
Listening to my little record player
Each time, they were shocked
To see it happen again
Land that I love, she sang
And my tears flowed like a spring
I felt a flush of embarrassment

Just three years old,

Nobody else saw me that way
This is a completely self serving grief
But now when I hear Kate
I cry, because you are gone-
