If Tomorrow Starts Without Me
My Wish
For my daughters
*
If tomorrow starts without me…..
My wish for you is
Raindrops, rainbows, misty mornings that linger
Leading to secrets promising life's destiny,
Music resounding along a multitude of journeys,
Joy running rampant across beams of moonlight,
Peace filtering nonstop into your soul like sunshine,
Fortunes built in character as steep as mountains,
Peace - rich, abundant, resplendent - like grass,
Laughter, like dragonflies, flitting about your depths,
Strength growing like a colorful array of garden flowers,
Understanding floating in on clouds, providing shelter,
Wisdom like flowing streams, empowering amid challenges,
And lastly, love that supplants to supersede all else
In this revolving,
Powerful pirouette
Of a dance we call life.

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.
