A Tribute to "Dr. Kate"
"In the far whiteness of the north
Is a woman who is so fine and great
She is none other than our dear
"Dr. Kate."
In her early years of practice
She did embrace the cold, cold north,
And without hesitancy, did venture
forth.
Cold or warm weather did not make
any difference
Snowstorms, thunderstorms, or any
other storm
Wouldn't stop Dr. Kate to go to you
whatever its form.
It made no difference to her
Whether people were poor or rich,
Or where she might land--even if it
was close to a ditch.
She was sent from heaven, duty
bound
She tended to the sick and ailing,
Never in her various duties--failing.
"A hospital is what we need,"
Says our Dr. Kate, so fine,
And works to get it--all in line.
The hospital is started, but--
Not enough funds to finish it--so
Unexpectedly our Dr. Kate is on
TV--oh!
What a surprise for this woman so
dear
She traveled to places in a plane so
far,
And when she returned, came back
in a new red car.
Fame and fortune--
People--friends, relatives, and such,
For her from the east, west, north,
and south,
Could not do too much.
How happy we are for you
Oh, Dr. Kate, with all your goodness
and your kindness,
All that stands for you with your
kindness and your fineness.
Good luck to you in your endeavors
May your future be a little easier to
take,
And may you have more relaxation
and enjoyment near you lake."
