Your light remains

Standard
Tuesday 11th May

Your light remains
Shining brightly
As I think of you
Holding you tightly
Within my dreams
You're there nightly

Love you poppet

Porthmeor Beach
Not too windy today
Keeping everyone safe
A few good waves
The harbour, with the tide creeping in
After half an hour, there is little sand left

So much I wanted

Standard
Sunday 9th May
.
So much I wanted
To hold you close

So much I wanted
To laugh with you

So much I wanted
To see you grow

So much I wanted
To travel with you

So much I wanted
To watch you smile

So much I wanted
To be with you

So much I wanted
To say to you
Goodbye wasn't the word
.
To the moon and back

Porthmeor Beach
Having fun in the surf
A good swell
Breezy but bright
Enjoying a Sunday on the beach
High tide in the harbour
Lots of visitors around

Whether you’re close

Standard
Saturday 8th May 
.
Whether you're close
Or far away
I still think of you
Every single day

Memories
And photographs
Show a life filled
With so many laughs
.
Love you sweetheart
Beloved Angel son

Grey and drizzly
Porthmeor Beach
Not many customers for the Lifeguards
A dull harbour
No pleasure boats going out today

The Alien Blob

Standard

Sunday 2nd May

And so it was 
Eight years ago
The Alien Blob
Removed from my toe

I liked the sun
I'd tan my skin
Didn't realise
Problems begin

That changing mole
Upon my toe
Biopsies later
It's cancer, y'know

A diagnosis
Of melanoma
And suddenly
Dark clouds came over

More surgeries
And all those tests
The right path to take
Oncologists know best

It metastasized
Moved through my body
Infected lymph nodes
I felt quite groggy

Now eight years later
I am N E D
No Evidence of (that
Beastly) Disease

But on a trial
Adjuvant treatment
Regular checkups
And scans quite frequent

Now I am vigilant
Protecting my skin
Don't want the cancer
To spread within

Living my life
Enjoy the outdoors
Spreading awareness
To you and yours

........
And thinking of you
Beloved Angel son
Every single day
Now forever young

Porthmeor Beach this afternoon
Chilly and bright
A much more sheltered harbour
Many enjoying the sun
Looking towards Hayle Towans
Looming clouds above the land
