A Fifth Season is a place of pause to grieve the death of my first and only child. A season characterized by reflection on the big stuff and the little stuff that this mom encounters as I parent the memory of my child, and my child, in loving return, parents my heart.

A Christmas Lullaby
If I could find a way
I would sing you a Christmas lullaby
to warm your heart
and make it beat again
If I could find my voice again
I would sing you a lullaby
that would wrest you from His arms
and bring you home to mine
If I could find the tune
I would sing you a lullaby that would
wake you from your peaceful slumber
to peer into the eyes of your mother
and know I love you
But I remain silent standing in the blanket of snow
that covers you now
I feel the angel tears from heaven
that fall upon my cheeks
