Not so bright today

Standard
Friday 31st May 

Not so bright today
It's turned cloudy and grey
Mood is a bit low, too
Need to keep pushing through

Finding strength within
Amidst the grey and dim
Tomorrow's light will shine
In time, all will align

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Grey and cloudy
But quite a few on the beach in the harbour

Smiles

Smiles bloom like flowers
In the golden light
A radiant glow
Pure and bright

In the warmth of the sun
Troubles fade away
Joy dances upon faces
In a joyful display

Love you so much

A busy harbour front
Low tide

Driving through Somerset
Collecting Luke from Newquay Airport….. A big surprise
Birthday drinks and dinner
We came to visit you on our way home xxx

Wishing you were here

Standard
Monday 27th May 

Spending time in Bath
Wandering, shopping
Down memory's path
Sometimes stopping

Watching the river
Falling over the weir
Felt a little shiver
Wishing you were here

Standing by the wall
Where we are now
In memories we recall
With a silent vow

In every moment shared
Your presence lingers near
In our hearts, always cared
Wishing you were here

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

A weekend away

Standard
Sunday 26th May 

A weekend away
The open road calls
Driving on through
As the rain falls
Bad weather and traffic jams
Left in our wake
Now, time to relax
For our own sake

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

A bright morning
Sunny to begin with today, but soon followed by horrendous downpours

Just because

Standard
Saturday 25th May 

Just because he's gone
Please don't forget he lived
He lingers on
In memories, forever vivid

His presence stays
In whispers of the past
Through endless days
His love will always last

Love you so much

Light cloud this morning, then the rains came

Today and yesterday

Standard
24th May 

Today and yesterday
And tomorrow too
Missing you deeply
That remains true

Through all the days
That come and go
This unchanging ache
Continues to grow

Love you so much

Remaining grey all day

Treasured memories

Standard
Thursday 23rd May 

Treasured memories
Like splinters of a fractured dream
Echo through the void
Where reality can scream
Gentle affection 
A breeze amidst the tempest's roar
A touch of solace
In the depths of the soul's core

Love you so much
Precious sons
Treasured Mum

Blue skies this morning
Parish Church and the Chapel on the Island

When day becomes night

Standard
Wednesday 22nd May 

When day becomes night
Colours turn dark
The buzz of the city
Grows quiet in the park
Waking up sleepless
Alongside the lark
All of those nightmares
Are making their mark

Shadows grow longer
As silence takes hold
The warmth of the day
Turns suddenly cold
In the still of the night
Fears become bold
Leaving their traces
As dreams fade and fold

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum
