Even as this palace we built
Crumbles, and my heart
Lays shattered where you tossed it aside,
I still believe in my own
Power. No matter how long it takes, I will
Shine like the sun again, and
Emerge as something greater than you ever thought I could be.

Walk In The Woods
I don't bring a compass or a map when I venture into the woods. I just walk, and walk, and walk. Maybe I'll wind my way around to the next house over, the garden now overgrown and the occupant now far away. There'll be no friendly hello or offer of tea if I step out there anymore.

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.
