IN SEARCH OF KITTY'S KIN(post natal depression)

In years gone by,if a lady suffered from post natal depression,chances are she was regarded as mad,and locked up.The subject of my poem is Katherine (Kitty) Miller.She was born in London around the year 1900,she came to Australia in 1910,married George Miller and had children.George died in 1920,two years after he had admitted Kitty to hospital suffering from "the madness" Total contact was lost with any other living relatives she had,and Kitty spent her remaining years in an Institution called "Bloomfield" in Orange (country New South Wales Australia) She spent over seventy years in this institution.Today we fix this problem with council and medication,not so in the past.

IN SILENCE,SHE SITS BY THE WINDOW.
FRAIL,CONFINED TO A CHAIR.
THINKING OF ,WHO CAN TELL,OR WHAT,
AS SHE HAS FOR MANY A YEAR.
GRIEF AT DEATH,WAS HER LAST,AND ONE SIN,
NOW AUSTRALIA SEARCHES,FOR HER NEXT OF KIN.

HER BABY HAD DIED,SHE'D TRIED TO BE BRAVE.
BUT EMOTIONS TOOK HOLD,WHEN,SHE SAW THE SMALL GRAVE.
DID SHE SEE WHAT SHE SAW?
"NO" THEY SAY ,WAS ILLUSION,
THEN REGARDLESS OF FACT,
WAS CONFINED,TO SECLUSION.
A LIFETIME AGO,YES THREE SCORE AND TEN,
COMMITED INSANE,BY THE STROKE OF A PEN.

THEY,KITTY'S LIFE WASTED,JUDGED MENTALLY ILL
BY SYMPTOM NOW FIXED,BY A SMALL YELLOW PILL.
IN SECRET FROM FAMILY,
HER HUSBAND,SHAME HIDES.
THEN HE,THE ONLY ONE KNOWING
TRAGICALLY DIES.
THE LONELY YEARS ROLL,JUST MORE FOLLOWS SAME.
WAITING FOR SOMEONE,BUT,NOBODY CAME.

NOW KITTY IS OLD,A CENTURY ON,
HER HOSPITAL FRIENDS SEARCH FOR RELATIVES, GONE.
WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?
ARE THEY SEARCHING IN VAIN?
IS THERE ANYONE KNOWINGLY BARES KITTY'S NAME?
IN SILENCE,SHE SITS BY THE WINDOW,
FRAIL,CONFINED TO A CHAIR.
HER EYES,HOLD THE TEARS,AS THEY HAVE DONE FOR YEARS
IS THERE SOMEONE THAT LOVES HER OUT THERE ?
