Always Distracted
Just sitting there on your phone
Distractions will come, yes the do.
In your home, they're coming for you.
Stretching, and reaching for your blackberry phone.
Trying not to read about your friends new ‘pinecone’.
Reading all your tweets and following “friends”.
And trying to track down that person who offends.
Completely engrossed in that tiny little object.
Totally not working on your newest project.
Ice can be splashed all over you head.
One day has passed, and you’re still in bed.
Never will one learn, always distracted…

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.
