Sunday 19th April 

Early morning 
Wake up alarm 
Off to the airport 
It's been a charm 

The bags are packed 
The keys in hand 
As we drive through 
This sleepy land 

A swift goodbye 
A whispered plea 
The airport awaits 
For you and me

Saturday 18th April 

Fuzeta by the water 
The sun shines bright 
Quiet breezes whisper
The day feels right
The boats gently sway 
Upon the azure sea 
While laughter dances 
Simply wild and free 

Love you so much 
Precious sons

Happy birthday Luke 
Thirty nine today 
Lots and lots of love 
Is coming your way 
A day to celebrate 
And loudly cheer 
Holding those dearest 
Memories so near

Precious son 
Birthday boy 
Sharing fun

Wednesday 15th April 

Beach daze 
Sun's rays 
Sea waves 
Sky haze 
Sunbed laze 
Happy days 
Holidays

Tuesday 14th April 

To Olhão's shore 
Where waters shine 
A lunchtime stop 
A pleasant wine  

Then to the garage 
A quick request 
Is Luke's car ready?
Put to the test

But words arrive 
A gentle sigh 
No, there are problems 
Not sure why 

The mechanic explains 
Trouble at play 
Dreams of smooth journeys 
Seem to drift away 

A moment's pause 
A small delay 
We'll find a way 
On another day 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Monday 13th April 

Morning ramblings 
As the world awakes 
With laughter mingling 
Each moment breaks 
Footsteps on cobblestones 
As stories unfold 
The warmth of the sun 
Has a gentle hold 
No heavy clock 
To mark the passing day 
This time is ours 
Oblivious as it slips away 

Tavira Portugal 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons

Sunday 12th April 

Gliding through dunes 
A gentle sway 
The windy gusts 
Now fade away 
We find a nook 
A sheltered space 
The beach awaits 
With calming grace 

Praia do Barril

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Treasured Mum

Saturday 11th April 

Chilled beach bar vibes
Parasols and comfy chairs
Lounging for a few hours 
Gone are all the cares 

There's no rush to be 
There's no need to strive 
Just breathing deeply 
And feeling quite alive 

The warm, salty breeze 
Touches with soft embrace 
As time slows gently 
Its hurried, anxious pace 

Ilha de Tavira 

Love you so much

Friday 10th April 

In Santa Luzia 
Where tides softly sway 
An octopus dances 
In waters at play 
With arms like ribbons 
It glides through the blue
A feast of the sea 
In a world fresh and new 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum
