Thursday 12th February 

Withheld from view 
Stories left untold 
Concealed within 
Silence that grows old 

It's easier this way 
To keep it near 
Less painful when 
No others can hear 

Private the space 
Where grief remains 
A separate world 
To weather the rains  

Love you so much 
Beloved sons 
Treasured Mum

Wednesday 11th February 

Each breath is borrowed 
And so quickly spent 
No moments lost
On what was never meant 
So seizing the hours 
As they softly fly 
To hold the hearts 
Beneath a somber sky 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Tuesday 10th February 

The clouds convene 
A depressing dance 
When silence holds 
The world in its trance 

Then comes the rain 
Downpour after downpour 
And this is what 
We really didn't ask for 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Monday 9th February 

The grey expanse 
Begins to sigh 
A steady rhythm 
Meets the sky

The clouds drift low 
Close to the ground 
Like muted whispers 
Barely making a sound 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Treasured Mum

Sunday 8th February 

Life is a road 
That will quickly run 
Beneath the moon
And midday sun 

A journey swift 
And surely free 
It rushes out 
To the incoming sea 

So do not wait 
For a little sign 
Let the courage 
And spirit shine 

When seeking to cross 
The rushing stream 
Trying to chase 
A waking dream 

Love you so much 
Beloved sons 
Treasured Mum

Saturday 7th February 

A mental tower  
Old and vast 
Where moments cling 
From beyond the past 

The settled dust  
On what remains 
Holds whispers from 
Forgotten rains 

So much unseen 
Beneath the grey 
A treasure waiting 
For the right day 

Love you so much 
Beloved sons 
Treasured Mum

Friday 6th February 

Stepping out upon the edge 
Where subtle fear resides 
When fortune favours 
And bold action guides 

Trusting the wind 
Catching you as you leap 
Where waking dreams 
Are better than being asleep 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Thursday 5th February 

Every path unknown 
Each story to weave 
In the presence of now 
There to truly believe 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Wednesday 4th February 

Happy heavenly birthday Hank 
Today you'd be ninety four
Remembering our adventures 
And escapades galore

4.2.1932 - 5.10.2009

Miss you forever

Tuesday 3rd February 

A chaotic mind 
So often strained 
A tangled landscape 
Barely explained 

Layers of memories 
Softly reside 
Like faded maps 
Where journeys collide 

Much still to find 
In that hazy space
A forgotten smile 
A familiar face 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum
