Pterodactyl
Flying lizard of delight
Oh, pterodactyl on the wing,
To see you soar makes my heart sing.
Though not a dinosaur as such,
Your graceful form I love so much.
Ever present in monster movies
Like 10,000 BC, your presence proves these
Representations of dino psyche
Are miles away from the image that could be
Seen if only we looked more closely
At what you were surely like in reality.

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.
