Age
Just a number
Not a child
Never been
Teen
Don’t be silly
I have been
Old since
Ever I can
Sense
Care of me
And some
Life long learning
Begins early
The creaking
That never
Set in
Vacation time
Something
I have been
Dreaming of since
My shower day
Friends
Family
Coworkers
That’s what I
Call them
Practice makes
For a tedious
Life but
That’s what
I was given
Learn
Serve
Listen
Serve again
Die
And that is a
A Benjamin
Button life

CH 20~ Party Down
Argento’s ninth (eighteenth in earth years) Birthday came and went Thursday, the thirteenth, and he’d already received his father’s gift, if you could call it that. You had to commit a fairly serious infraction to be cut off; the Arch-Baron was keeping up appearances and maintaining his own reputation as much as any sense of love or attachment to Argento with his “gift.”

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.
