After weeks of endless sunshine rays Skies now painted in shades of greys No vibrant hues to meet the eye Just dreariness filled with a sigh The world seems colourless and bland As dampness settles across the land Yet the garden needs rain to pour And return it to splendour once more To quench the earth, revive its bloom To end the dryness and the gloom

Choppy waves at Porthmeor Not too inviting A few trying the surf Still and grey in the harbour Self drive boats Calm Red self drive boats The Jumbo boats have been out sailing
Inside every person you see There is someone you don't know A world of secrets Where emotions silently flow Behind the smiles and laughter That they often display Lies a depth unknown Hidden beneath the everyday
Shake off doubts and fears Face the world without tears You don't see the stress in me Striving to rise, to be free Somewhere happiness resides Where dreams and truth coincides
Love you so much Treasured sons Beloved Mum xxxxx
Bright this morning, but it did cloud over later on.
Beneath a canopy of trees Dappling sunlight plays Casting a shadowy glow Along the winding ways Trembling green leaves sway Their branches reaching high Whispering untold secrets To the endless blue sky
Love you so much Precious sons Treasured Mum xxxxx
From the depths of history Steam engines of old Their iron hearts pounding As stories they unfold Their rhythmic chugging Echoes through the air A symphony of power Beneath the sun's glare
Amongst the green valleys Where all stands still A castle's proud silhouette Built tall on the hill Its ancient stones Worn by the winds of time A sentinel of yesteryear Majestic and sublime
Love you so much Treasured sons Beloved Mum xxxxx
Roads to rail steam rally Norden In the shadow of Corfe Castle Many, many steam engines Noisy, smoky, so powerful Shiny Large and small Corfe Castle on the hill Beneath a shady tree
Quacking, paddling ducks Feathers preened clean Glide on ripples A peaceful scene As time passes They find their way Navigating currents Day after day

River Frome Ice cream in the sun Noisy ducks The Old Granary, Wareham MallardSwans join in the scrabble for food Lovely, sunny evening Ducks criss crossing the river
Beneath the canvas Of blue skies above A vista unfolds What's not to love? The horizon stretches Vast and wide Inviting dreams To soar and glide
Kites take flight Colourful and bold Their strings entwined Needing strength to hold They twist and turn In the boundless expanse Flying with the wind In an effortless dance
Love you so much Treasured sons Beloved Mum xxxxx
St Ives this morning Nasturtiums in the garden Walking down to Porthmeor. Kites flying in the breeze Quite busy today The kites all strung together Squid, dolphins and whales Beautiful blues The harbour Big clouds, but sunny where we are
