It’s summertime

Standard
Sunday 21st July 

It's summertime
Grey skies overhead
And the sun won't shine
All the warmth has fled
So though the sun
May hide its face
And clouds may linger
In its place
There's still some beauty
In this dull embrace
A sense of peace 
A gentle grace

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Across the estuary to Hayle Towans

Missing you

Standard
Saturday 20th July 

Missing you, my boy
My eldest, my joy
Memories bless us 
Priceless and precious

Your laughter, your light
Moments so bright
In my heart, you remain
Through every joy and pain

Though distance may part
You're close in my heart
Forever cherished
Never diminished

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Grey and grim, dank and dreary, rank and rainy

Repeating

Standard
Friday 19th July 

Tapestry of life 
Threads intertwine
Past memories
Brighten the mind
Flicker and dance
Elusive and fleeting
Lessons they teach
Are worth repeating

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Through to the harbour
A pretty morning….. But the rains crept in by afternoon

Sunshine

Standard




Thursday 18th July 

As the sunshine
Kisses faces
Feeling your presence 
Warm embraces

Cherishing moments
That we shared
Carrying them all
Unimpaired

Beneath blue skies
Safe in my heart
I know you're there
Though we're apart

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Looking towards the harbour
Blue seas, blue skies

Reminiscing

Standard
Wednesday 17th July 

Reminiscing on childhood days
Innocent and pure
When the world was a playground
An open door
The endless possibilities
And dreams to chase
When everyone's longing for
That carefree space

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

A warm day

Hope

Standard
Tuesday 16th July 

Hope is the beacon
Lighting the way
To better tomorrows 
Come what may

Though shadows try
To dim its glow
Hope finds a way
To put on a show

Love you so much
Precious sons

Obscuring St Ives harbour
Lovely blue skies this morning

Closing my eyes

Standard
Monday 15th July 

Closing my eyes
And drifting away
To a time and place
Where memories play

For in the end
It's not the years
But moments cherished
With smiles and tears

Love you so much
Precious sons
Treasured Mum

Breathing in

Standard
Sunday 14th July 

Couples walking
Hand in hand
Footprints left
In the soft sand
Breathing in
The salty air
With no worries  
Nor a single care

Love you so much
Treasured sons

A warm afternoon

Down the hill

Standard
Saturday 13th July 

Down the hill
To Porthmeor Beach
Holidaymakers
Their children screech

Trying to relax
On the sandy shore
Listening
To the ocean's roar

Families building
Castles in the sand
Children running
Hand in hand

Smells of sunscreen
Fill the air
Lazing about
Without a care

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Beautiful blue skies this morning
Going down Porthmeor Hill
Porthmeor West
Looking towards Man’s Head
A busy afternoon

Those days gone by

Standard
Friday 12th July 

Those days gone by 
Laughter and tears
Friendships forged
Love lost in the years
Memories flicker
Candles in the dark
Taking thoughts back
To that familiar spark

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Dull, dank, dreary and drizzly
