A SENSUAL STROLL
For the Sensational II Challenge
Evening begins with melodious music and ears hear the beat of romance.
While the psychedelic painting arouses the eyes, the sight stimulates the visual brain.
Inhaling the sweetness, the smell of kettle korn inspires an olfactory dance.
Sparkling champagne tastes refreshing and tickles the tongue, yet doesn't complain.
Strolling the fundraising event, cold air touches smooth silky skin that erupts into goosebumps, a pleasant sensation by chance.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
