Nature's Morse Code
For Those Who Listen
The snowflakes tap tap
On my old blue coat, a soft,
Private love poem.

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.
