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.

Wonderful haiku, Bill <3 Cardinals are my favorite winter bird. They look so pretty on the evergreens in the snow.
The cardinal is the bird of Heaven and angels when you see a cardinal that is a visit from a family member or friend in a much better place. That is my belief. Good job.
This is the bird that wakes me up every morning . I have a lot of them where I live.
Lovely poem for a lovely bird. How beautiful the male Cardinals look in the snow. It’s incredible they don’t migrate. They must have good protective feathers for the winter.
They look so majestic to me for some reason. Loved your poem!
