Remember,
You can not see,
The fortune that awaits,
No matter how laborious,
You slave to secure.
You are not to know,
Though you must learn,
Slow solemn lessons,
Of days you must live.
Ahead,
You most stumble,
Blind and dumb,
Measured and watched,
Judged by your missteps.
Plans are deceitful,
Dreams wearing masks,
Of alluring promise,
Disturbing trustful slumber.
So,
As you lie down tonight,
And rest for the new day,
Accept it is all for nothing,
Nothing where you must begin.
Hope is of little comfort,
And trust is seldom wise,
But all you have is trial,
And time to perfect.

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.
