Friday 21st January 

The warm glow of the sun 
Belies the sharp twinge 
Of frost in the air 
Crisply creeping in 

Love you both so much 
Beloved sons

Thursday 20th January 

The thing 
That I thought 
Was a thing 
Is not 
A thing 
It's a nothing 

(The hospital news 
Following my scans 
And those blood tests 
Mean I can make plans 
Big sighs of relief 
A clapping of hands) 

Love you both so much 
Treasured sons

Wednesday 19th January 

A crack in the clouds 
Let some light through 
A dancing sunbeam 
That I knew was you 

I saw this yesterday 
The day of your birthday 
A celestial ray 
As if you'd come to play 


Love you both so much 
Precious sons

Tuesday 18th January 

Thirty seven years old 
That's what you'd be today 
But cancer and the angels 
Took your sweet life away 

The adventures yet to have 
So much more to live forn
Who really, really knows 
What would've been in store? 

Holidays and travelling 
You loved the preparation 
Wanting the itinerary 
For each and every vacation 

Happiness and laughter 
Fun and games were had by all 
But so unexpectedly 
You answered Heaven's call 

Seven birthdays we've now missed 
Sharing the good times with you 
Above clouds is where you fly 
Across the endless skies of blue 

Sending love and hugs your way 
As we think of you with love 
Happiest of birthdays my darling 
Hope you're partying up above 


No matter how long 
As memories replay 
It will always seem 
Like yesterday 

Thinking of you daily 
And loving you greatly 
Missing you like crazy 
My darling Angel baby

Monday 17th January

Blue Monday 
Blue sighs 
Blue mood 
Blue skies 

The saddest day of the year? 
I know that you're not here 
But when the sky's so clear 
I can feel you standing near 

Love you both so much 
My darling sons 
xxxxx 

Sunday 16th January 

Fracturing and shattering 
Rebuilding and repairing 
Rollercoaster of emotions 
As the heart is declaring 
Experiences without you 
Those new memories sharing 

Love you both so much 
Treasured sons 
xxxxx 

Saturday 15th January 

The gateway to your memories 
Will never be closed or shut 
I'll always treasure and share them 
Unedited and uncut 

Love you both so much 
Beloved sons

Friday 14th January 

Some days 
Fog haze 
Malaise 
Eyes glaze 

Sun's rays 
New ways 
Don't faze 
Life slays 

Love you both so much 
Precious sons 
xxxxx 

Thursday 13th January 

Falling into the background 
Into a whirlpool, drowned 

Fading into dark shadows 
Where all life gently froze 

Invisibly breaking 
The earth beneath, shaking 

Feel like hibernating 
Days of summer, waiting 

But I know, there above me 
All my struggles you see 

You're there when I need you 
Caring for all I do 

Love you both so much 
Treasured sons 
xxxxx 

Wednesday 12th January 

Time to look at the stars 
Re-read all the memoirs 
Making the moment ours 
During those midnight hours 

Love you both so much 
Beloved sons
