Autumn sun sinks its tired head,
Nightly creepy crawlers sing their lullaby,
Barn Owls add soft hoots to the nightly song.
Walking my leaf-covered lawn,
Gazing up at the pink cotton candy clouds
spread like a baby's blanket across the sky.
Crisp winds washes my face,
brings cents of dried moss, decaying leaves and wet grass.
Going to bed with Autumn's perfume,
a comfortable embrace.

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.
