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.

This was so good. Of course you had me at the title Blackbird is my favorite Beatles song. Great prose!
Oh, the freedom and thrill to fly! We’ve all wanted to do this…and feel the wind if we had wings to capture that exhilaration! You captured this wonderful wish in your poem, Rick!
Nice! Thank you💕
i really liked this, often feel like flying away. I find that a flight someplace else such as the sky, makes home feel more comfortable. Not sure my interpretation was yours, but I've been listening to freebird, Right where I am at today
Beautiful poem! To me it suggests the feeling of finally finding peace and freedom from pain and suffering.
Loving your inspirational poem!!!
Love the sense of liberation that your poem made me feel. Beautiful poem!
I love it! It's deeper than it's presented. :)
Peaceful, calm, and relaxing poem emoting freedom. Excellent poem Rick.
Simply Beautiful!!!!
