Record plays near bed
Dad reads to me in soft words
Soothes my cold away.

A star’s soul is full Its beam tears me in cold bits Wolf howls—I’m warm now.

I drop to my knees on the side of the road Of this long forgotten place I gather the filthy, Long abandoned bundle this fragment of faith

You are in my heart, not loud, not shown, A gentle truth I’ve always known. No words can trace the space you fill, You stay, you breathe, you bend my will.

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.
