don't let go,
we're almost to the top.
i promise that
you can see
all the stars
from where
we're going.
i know
you never learned
how to ride
but
i can teach you
if only
you'll let me.
take my hand
and we can fly
if you trust me.
forget about
our problems
if just for
one more
evening.
let it last
a lifetime
lest the brakes fail
and we go
tumbling down
together.

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.

Dear Mae - So often our stories bring back memories for our readers - I hear that all of the time with mine: When in middle school I saw a coin in the road and put on my hand brakes instantly - Flipped over the bars - Still teased about it to this day. I'm just an Old Fashion StoryTeller and enjoy your lovely 'Original' presentations *I've subscribed with pleasure.
