Tuesday 10th September 

Beneath the quiet sky 
Standing alone 
In fields where whispers 
Of the wind have blown 
Watching stars above 
Candles in the night 
Hiding ancient stories 
In flickering light 

Love you so much
Beloved sons

Monday 9th September 

A slight chill in the air 
Its touch so light 
Autumn’s first breath 
An end to summer’s flight 
A few leaves are falling 
Colours turning brown 
Dancing on breezes 
Scuttling on the ground 

Love you so much

Sunday 8th September 

There are times when 
The sun won’t rise 
When the sky wears 
A heavy disguise 
When silence stretches 
A weight in the air 
And you're left to wonder 
Is anyone there? 

What happened then? 
A moment passed 
Like the fleeting shadow 
That doesn't last 
The world stood still 
In quiet refrain 
Gathering yourself 
Amidst the rain 

There are times when 
The heart feels slow 
Like a river beneath 
With hidden flow 
Yet even in stillness 
Time presses on 
And what happened then 
Becomes long gone 

Love you so much
Treasured sons

Saturday 7th September 

Cloudy skies 
A soft, grey hue 
The world feels distant 
Slightly out of view 

A peaceful moment
With whispered sigh 
As overcast hours 
Drift on by 

Love you so much
Precious sons

Friday 6th September 

The post-holiday blues 
They stealthily creep 
Those memories linger 
Vivid and deep 
But though the journey 
Has met its end 
The road ahead 
Waits round the bend 

There’s always next time 
Another day 
When the skies call 
And we'll drift away 
New adventures await 
Just out of sight 
To fill our hearts 
Reignite the light 

And so for now 
Dream of what's to come 
Knowing that wanderlust 
Is never done 
With every goodbye 
There’s a future hello 
With the promise of places 
We'll someday know 

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Thursday 5th September 

So our holiday 
Has come to an end 
With memories made 
Around every bend 
Portugal’s Algarve 
With sun-kissed shore 
Leaves us longing 
For just one day more 

The waves, the skies 
The quiet breeze 
The golden sands 
And sparkling seas 
Memories made 
Though we depart 
A piece of this place 
Stays in our heart 

Love you so much
Precious sons

Wednesday 4th September 

Streets of Tavira 
Where time softly flows 
Over shiny cobblestones 
Where history shows 
Old crumbling buildings 
Weathered and worn 
Hold stories of past lives 
Both joyful and torn 

Each step echoes through 
Alleyways with height 
Beneath balconies dressed 
In the afternoon light 
The charm of decay 
In each wall and stone 
A whisper of memories 
So long overgrown 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Tuesday 3rd September 

Endless blue skies 
A canvas so wide 
Sipping on rosé 
No rush to decide 

With fries on the side 
A tasty delight 
Salt water skin 
Dries in the sunlight 

The day drifts by 
In a lazy embrace 
Laughter and calm 
Setting the pace 

From morning onwards 
The sun's gentle rays 
Cherishing carefree 
Endless days 

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Monday 2nd September 

Off to the beach 
We go again 
Catching the ferry 
Exactly at ten 

Ilha de Tavira 
An island dream 
Sands are golden
The waters gleam 

Love you so much 
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Sunday 1st September 

Beneath the sun's 
Bright golden ray 
Stopping for lunch 
On this sunny day 
Fuseta welcomes
With a gentle ease 
Vivid blue skies 
Calm, clear seas 

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum
