Kathryn Poem by Justin Reamer

Dear Kathryn,

I can still remember meeting you the
First Work Camp I ever went on.
You were bright, young, beautiful,
Gregarious, sociable, and sweet.
You and Eric were so cute together back
Then that I could not help but smile
At the mutual attraction you two shared,
Along with Alex and Rebekah-
It was the sweetest thing that could
Ever touch a fourteen-year-old's mind.

Even though you guys never really dated,
I still think you are one of the greatest friends
I have ever had, Kathryn.
You are outgoing, sweet,
Kind, loving, beautiful, extroverted,
Friendly, amiable, giving, thoughtful,
Courageous, brave, understanding, and empathetic.
You are a great leader in everything that you do.

You have always been a great example
For everyone around you,
And I am glad I can call you my friend.
You are a great daughter, a great older sister,
And a great friend.
You are a great role model for Emily,
And I commend you for watching out for her.
You are a great leader in all that you do,
No one can deny it;
Even Hannah Acosta cannot disagree-
And she was class president!

Kathryn, you have many gifts and talents,
And you are a wonderful woman.
You are a great role model for Emily,
And no one can deny it.
Emily may need your help some day,
So never turn her down.
Always be willing to guide her in everything she does,
For she will need your guidance in
The years to come.
Keep in mind that she's your sister,
And your best friend for life,
For blood is thicker than water,
And we must all remember that.
You do well in all that you do,
And I know you will do even greater
Things as a doctor in the field of medicine.
Stay sharp, Kathryn,
And may God bless you in all that you do!
