Darkness

Standard
Tuesday 28th February 

The darkness seems to swallow me
My fears become so real
I wonder if I'll make it through
Have strength for this ordeal
But then a shooting star appears
A glimmer in the night sky
And quite suddenly I'm reminded
That hope will never die

Love you so much

The absolute joy

Standard
Monday 27th February 

The absolute joy
Of nature's sound
That symphony
Just so profound
Each flawless note
A gift to be found
Calmly listening
Peace does abound

Love you so much

St Ives harbour in the sunshine

In time

Standard
Sunday 26th February 

In time, we learn
To live with the pain
Accepting that things
Won't be the same
Finding a way
To move forward each day
Cherishing memories
That won't go away

Love you so much
Beloved sons

Harbour views
Breezy and chilly

Hope and sunshine

Standard
Saturday 25th February 

Hope and sunshine, a perfect pair
A blend of warmth and radiant air
A promise of good things yet to come
A chance to rise and carry on

When clouds loom large and skies turn grey
And life seems hard in every way
It's hope and sunshine that breaks through
To light the path and guide anew

Love you so much

St Ives harbour this morning
Low tide, and much cooler this afternoon

In the midst

Standard
Friday 24th February 

In the midst of this endless gloom
A glimmer of hope begins to bloom
For though the weather may be grey
Brighter skies should be on their way

So I'll try not to despair or fret
For sunny days will come, you bet
And in the meantime, I'll try to find
Joy and beauty in the daily grind

Love you so much

Brighter tomorrow

Standard
Thursday 23rd February 

Leaving pain behind
I'm ready to go
Towards a brighter future
It'll be better, I know
No longer burdened
By yesterday's sorrow
Today I'll look forward
To a brighter tomorrow

Love you so much
Precious sons

The night sky

Standard
Wednesday 22nd February 

The night sky is a canvas
For dreams and fantasies
A place to lose ourselves
In endless possibilities
So though the worries linger
And the night is dark and long
I'll hold onto hope and wonder
And let that guide me on

Love you so much
Treasured sons

Cool, but bright this morning

In the still of the night

Standard
Tuesday 21st February 

In the still of the night
When all is quiet and calm
My mind begins to wander
And worries start to swarm
What if tomorrow never comes
Or if it comes too soon?
What if I never find my way
Or if I stumble at noon?

Love you so much
Beloved sons

Porthmeor Beach this afternoon
Quite a few hardy souls having a surf lesson
Man’s Head
Academy Place
Going up Academy Steps
At the top, looking down, over the rooftops towards the harbour

The heart beats heavy

Standard
Monday 20th February 

The heart beats heavy
Burdened with pain
A sadness lingers
Like drenching rain
Such longing for joy
For glimmers of light
To ease this darkness
In the depths of night

Love you so much
Treasured sons

Control the uncontrollable

Standard
Sunday 19th February 

Anxiety grips with its icy hand
Trying to control what can't be planned
Mind races with a thousand fears
Trying to hold back the tears

I'm drowning in a sea of doubt
And those silent voices scream and shout
The waves come in, ebb out again
My efforts to stop them, all in vain

I know I must let go of this need
To control what's beyond my reach, take heed
I must learn to trust in the flow of life
Let go of the need to control the strife

Take a deep breath, closing my eyes
Face turned to the ever-changing skies
Shake off the need to control the uncontrollable
Maybe life would be so much more approachable

Love you so much
Treasured sons
