Run Your Hand Thru My Hair
A Love Poem
Run your hand thru my hair,
over my brow, eyes, and ears;
lead me like a man, lost in a maze,
to the dark wine of your lips.
*
You make my body sing when you
run your hand thru my hair.
With my arms open like a gift,
calm my fear with your palm
*
make my toes curl with joy
when I lay my head on your lap.
Run your hand thru my hair
when my feet ache from a long
*
walk down a dim lane,
and I can’t take one more step,
yet home is so far away.
Run your hand thru my hair.

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.
