The Earth Goddess lived on
In the form of a curvy Statue
Villagers had rubbed her for years
Polishing her well-rounded figure
Till it mirrored one's reflection
Her bottom rounded from childbirth
Her hair up in a rounded bun
Beautiful kind eyes belying
The secret knowledge of the pursed lips
What happened to the people
Who used to worship this Statue
The tribes who used to sacrifice
To this unknown Earth Goddess
The Priests and Priestesses
Who used to care and pray
To their Goddess of Fertility
For a millennium has passed
And the people are forgotten
But their Goddess lives on

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.
