Quiet thinking

Standard
Thursday 11th July 

Quiet thinking
Of past times
They happened
The clock chimes 

Looking back
A wistful gaze
If only's
Through the haze

Moments lost
Yet memories stay
In the heart
Forever they play

Love you so much
Beloved sons

St Ives harbour
Sunshine and clouds

The sunshine returns

Standard
Wednesday 10th July 

The sunshine returns
Big smiles all around
With blue skies for days
Now summer is found

Warmth in the air
Joy fills the street
Laughter and cheer
In the sun's golden heat

Flowers in bloom
Fields lush and green
Hoping summer has come
A beautiful scene

Love you so much
Precious sons

St Ives in the sunshine
Blue sea, blue sky…. Hope it stays like this for a while

Dreary shadows

Standard
Tuesday 9th July 

In the land of dreary shadows 
Where darkness reigns
Where the sun will not shine 
And the misty moon wanes

Lies a place dull and gloomy
Simply full of despair
Where hope's a distant memory
And joy is rare

Yet not fearing shadows
Or the gloom that surrounds
As even in darkness 
A spark of light can be found

So with each step forward
The darkness may fade
When the light of hope
Could guide through the shade

Love you so much
Treasured sons

Dull and gloomy

Though

Standard
Monday 8th July 

Though he's gone
His spirit remains
In every sunrise
And whenever it rains
Carrying him with me
Memories of joy
Never forgetting
Sweet darling boy

Love you so much
Precious sons

Rainy all day

Sunny Sunday

Standard
Sunday 7th July 

Sunny Sunday glimmer
Visiting family
Lunch beside the river
Moments cherished happily

Laughter dances in the breeze
Conversations warm and bright
Sunlight filters through the trees
Time well spent, pure delight

Love you so much
Treasured sons

St Ives this morning
Our lunchtime spot, the Upper Deck at Rock
Overlooking the River Camel, towards Padstow
Low tide, blue skies

Each task a step

Standard
Saturday 6th July 

Each task a step
Towards the light
Creating calm
Making things right

A breath of fresh air 
A peaceful mind
In the clarity
New joys to find

Time to clear out
Life simplified
An organised place
Where comfort resides

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

A sunny morning, but heavy showers in the afternoon

And when

Standard
Friday 5th July 

And when
The storms of life come our way
We'll stand firm
Trying never to sway
For with hope
As our powerful guiding force
We'll conquer
All obstacles, staying the course

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Oh dear, really not a nice day at all
The view from the car this morning

The billowing cloud

Standard
Thursday 4th July 

He walks among
The billowing cloud
His laughter ringing
Clear and loud
His eyes filled
With a gentle grace
And there's that smile
Lighting up his face

Love you so much
Beloved sons

Quite busy on Porthmeor Beach
Very breezy with choppy waves
Busy and more sheltered in the harbour

Can I ?

Standard
Wednesday 3rd July 

Can I find
The strength within
To face the fears
Where dreams begin?

Can I chase
The morning light
To turn the darkness
Back to bright?

Can I stand
When shadows fall
Get up again
To heed the call?

Can I hold
Through the strife
The guiding star
That shapes my life?

Can I? will I?
Learn to soar
Embrace the sky
Forevermore?

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Certainly not like July at all

Grey skies above

Standard
Tuesday 2nd July 

Grey skies above
Just a muted hue
But it's summertime
Where's the blue?

Yet hope persists
For skies to clear
To bring back warmth
With joy and cheer

Love you so much
Beloved sons

Grey skies this morning
By afternoon….
It was much warmer
Quite a few on the beach in the corner of the harbour
