Summer Phelps

Though no parent has an excuse,
For a child that dies from abuse,
The fact that CPS,
Already had the address,
Should have been put to good use!

Once a young child did depend,
On CPS her life to defend,
And tho’ her folks are arrested,
And the system’s contested,
This Summer has come to an end.
