Embarrassed, defeated, aghast I stand
Competing, this victory I had in my hand
Left overshadowed by my protege, a light that once shined on me
Inexcusable emotions, rage, envy and jealousy
Peels of laughter, celebration everywhere as I wallowed in discouragement
Small to others, huge to me, a stranger's words of encouragement
Everyone has time to shine, it’s just the time of another. Yours never left, it’s just temporarily covered

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.

I got out of the jealousy and anger. Nicely expressed acrostic.
