Thursday 11th January 

Waiting in the shadows 
With wistful air 
Uncertain paths 
Possibilities rare 
Unsure steps 
In the quiet unknown 
Opportunities whisper 
Seeds to be sown 

A dance with time 
In the realm of chance 
Uncertainty's drama 
A nuanced trance 
Yet within the peace 
Of tender charm 
Hope can bloom 
And not sound the alarm 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Wednesday 10th January 

Bitter, biting 
Brutally cold air 
Cerulean skies 
Crisp and bare 
Pinched cheeks 
Chilled they glow 
Cold toes dance 
On frost-kissed snow

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Tuesday 9th January 

It's cold, it's chilly 
In winter's grasp 
Sombre grey skies 
With a muted clasp 
Bare, brittle branches 
Stretch in silent call 
Hard ground beneath 
A frozen crawl 
Nature at a standstill 
In hibernation's hold 
A crisp, raw landscape 
That's stark and bold 

Love you so much 
Beloved sons 
Treasured Mum

Monday 8th January 

And so it is 
The return to reality 
Coming back home 
Where it's cold and icy 
But days are lengthening 
Degree by degree 
New ideas unfurl 
There to surprise me

Love you so much
Treasured sons

Sunday 7th January 

Hasta la próxima vez 
So long sunny Spain 
It's time to go home
But we'll be back again 
Thanks for a fabulous time 
But now we'll catch our plane

Love you so much

Saturday 6th January 

Día de Reyes 
Three Kings Day 
Family together 
Spanish holiday 
Long lazy lunch 
Wish we could stay
Yet have to pack
Soon on our way 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Friday 5th January 

Lunch on the beach 
Beneath the sun's gaze 
Sunshine and smiles 
In a coastal daze 
Windblown waves 
With bodyboarders 
Catching the swell 
Quite the performers 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Thursday 4th January 

A bit better today 
Walked along the seashore 
Stopped for fresh orange juice 
Well-being to restore 

Cloudy, grey skies above 
Soon gave way to sunshine 
With retail therapy 
I'll soon be feeling fine 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Wednesday 3rd January 

And here we are 
Still in bed 
Chesty cough 
And a sore head 

Husband and son 
Went out in the car 
To a marina 
It's not that far 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Tuesday 2nd January 

Struggling today 
A raging headache 
Bad cough and cold 
Painkillers to take 

Stayed in bed 
A cocoon of rest 
On holiday 
Not at its best 

But tomorrow 
Brings a better day 
And all these germs 
Will go away 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum
