Saturday 30th June

.

A drive into Wareham

A walk by the river

A number of ferries

Passengers to deliver

.

Back to the big house

Afternoon by the pool

Pimms, cake and croquet

Trying to keep cool

.

A fabulous setting

For two big birthdays

A Ruby anniversary

Charged glasses to raise

.

Fifty guests for dinner

Friends and family

Husband’s sister

Has done splendidly

.

It’s her sixty fifth

Her husband’s seventy

Their anniversary

A weekend of pleasantry

.

Oh, the murder mystery

It was Dad wot dunnit

He poisoned the magistrate

The Admiral was the culprit

.

You really would’ve had fun

If you’d been here

A big old country house

Exploring far and near

.

So I’m telling you my darling

Of all we’ve done today

Trying to keep you close by

Sharing our weekend away

.

Love you forever

Precious Angel son

Friday 29th June

.

A murder mystery

In a country house

You’d be the baddie

Not quiet as a mouse

.

Being dramatic

Was your forté

Taking part

Acting in a play

.

Such a character

Of many talents

Perfect timing

Never off balance

.

Twenty people

A mixed family group

All sorts of ages

Fascinating troupe

.

You’d love it here

Out in the country

Pretending to be

One of the gentry

.

I’ll let you know

How it goes

Who did what

And who knows….

.

Love you sweetie

Precious Angel son

Southover House

The dining room

One of the drawing rooms

Thursday 28th June

.

It seems like yesterday

But feels like forever

An absolute eternity

An aeon without us together

.

Missing you like crazy

My darling Angel baby

Wednesday 27th June

.

A lovely day again

So, where are you then?

No clouds to soar between

You’re nowhere to be seen

Or is that songbird singing

A sign, to me, you’re bringing?

Twittering away so happily

Saying “Hello” to your family

.

Love you sweetie pie

Forever and always

Treasured Angel son

Tuesday 26th June

.

Is it becoming easier

More manageable?

A slow, dull pain

Quite unimaginable

.

As time goes by

There are more occasions

When I’m missing you

Such as our vacations

.

New adventures

To different places

Without you

Bringing smiles to faces

.

Not so much

Outward grief

Just an emptiness

Cancer: a wretched thief

.

Love you forever

My darling Angel son

Monday 25th June

.

Kisses from you

Adorn the sky

Big white crosses

As you soar by

Love you always

My Angel guy

Up in heaven

Is where you fly

.

Saturday 23rd June

.

Watching wistful waves

Observing otherworldly oceans

Surveying sentimental seas

.

A day spent looking at sailboats

Motorcruisers, gigs and canoes

So many kinds of watercraft

Sunshine and beautiful blues

.

Surveying sentimental seas

Observing otherworldly oceans

Watching wistful waves

.

Love you

My sweet Angel of the high seas

Miss you

Your voice carries on the breeze

.

Friday 22nd June

.

Walking down memory lane again

Because the gates never close

As long as I keep saying your name

My love for you still grows

.

This bumpy reminiscence road

Filled with stories from the past

Is somewhere I can go alone

To be in your presence at last

.

The pot-holed path of nostalgia

Means choosing your way care

Remembering all the good times

With adventures beyond compare

.

Love you forever

Forget you never

Keep us together

Always and ever

.

Thursday 21st June

.

Where’re we going today?

What we gonna do?

Are we nearly there yet?

I really need a poo

.

I want to buy some sweeties

Can I have some money?

A book, a comic, a drink or two

And my nose is runny

.

Oh my, the things you used to say

You would call me blondie

And Dad was old, grey hair

You cheeky, little monkey

.

I’d love to hear your voice right now

Coming out with nonsense and wit

I’ll treasure all those memories

Along with your infallible spirit

.

I loved your idiosyncrasies

Along with a great personality

So full of love and humour

An innocent geniality

.

Love you forever

My darling Angel son
