Eleven Christmases

Standard
Thursday 25th December 

Eleven Christmases have passed you by
No longer here, but in heaven you lie

The twinkle of lights feels dimmer tonight
Searching for your smile, your warmth, your light

The place is quiet where your voice would sound
No footsteps echo on frosted ground

Listening hard in moments of the night
Hoping for whispers from a distant height

Looking toward heaven at stars so bright
Picturing you wrapped in celestial light

Stockings are hung, yet they feel so bare
Reaching out my hand, yet you're not there

Missing you sweetie, in every soft sigh
Beneath the glimmering of the night sky

So this season holds both joy and grief
A rollercoaster beyond belief

Eleven Christmases, yet here in my heart
The bond that we forged will never depart

No matter how long, as memories replay
It will always feel like yesterday

Happy Christmas Frank
Missing you
Love you
Always and forever
Sweet Angel

A wonderful spot
Right on the beach

#Mijas Pueblo.... Sunset and Christmas lights

Sunny with a chill wind

Standard
Monday 22nd December 

Sunny with a chill wind
Above the skies so blue
Snow on the mountain tops
Creates a perfect view

A pleasant walk to town
Where hearts do align
The world feels gently calm
And life is peachy fine

In every single breath
There is a promise clear
Walking by the waterfront
Surely brings loved ones near

Love you so much
Precious sons

The grey sky

Standard
Sunday 21st December 

The grey sky weeps a steady, cold refrain 
Off to Málaga in the dreary rain
My boy will greet me with a happy smile 
Now we're all together, it's so worthwhile

Love you so much

The grey above

Standard
Friday 19th December 

The grey above
Veils the sun from sight
Yet gentle warmth
Still lingers with the light

The sky a quilt 
As soft clouds drift
A billowing montage
With life's precious gift

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

La Cala de Mijas

Standard
Thursday 18th December 

La Cala de Mijas
Just blue skies for days
With lunch on the beach
Where nothing can faze

The waves touch the shore
A dance pure and bright
Footprints in soft sand
Seabirds take flight

The sun wraps gently
Warmth of a caress
Laughter drifts lightly
Removing all stress

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Guinness World Record attempt

Guinness World Record attempt
Of pizzas in a line
Two thousand one hundred
In the warm sunshine

Along the Paseo Marítimo
Beneath the swaying palms trees
Crowds gather to watch
Chefs with expertise
