Open my eyes,
For I cannot see,
Change the heart of me,
What was stone indeed,
Loneliness the curse of man,
What divine but an open hand?
Every day full of grays,
Lies that bind my mind,
Have the courage to break,
The walls of selfish fay,
For with mighty hands,
The gentle touch of love commands,
Leave not my friends in shadows,
Introspection’s only lie,
But let my love show forth,
In each home the candle bright,
For I am man and if the earth,
But what calls the soul,
But the divine?

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.
