Jack Frost and the Hooded Crow
A Frosted Verse entry
December nears, the First Frosy warns winter is not far
(Homeless families shiver, huddled in tent or car)
Sip hot drinks and feast in front of a fire
(Others can but dream, their situation dire…)
Laugh and sing carols, renounce in friends and family near
(Another weeps at shrine or graveside, their loved ones far from here)
Call out “Peace on Earth and goodwill to all men!”
(Elsewhere, war rages, though we said “Never Again”)
As the year comes to an end, count your blessings as they are
(some are not so lucky, a year saw them fall far)
Look around you this season, do you see others in need of care?
(A new year beckons, perhaps their fortune will turn to the fair)

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.
