When all’s said and done

Standard
Monday 21st October 

When all's said and done
What will there be?
A legacy of dreams
Of hopes, all agree

The echoes of laughter
The echoes of tears
The memories of triumphs
The memories of fears

But in the end
When all's said and done
We are but dust
Beneath the setting sun

Yet in our hearts 
A spark does remain
A flame that burns
Despite the pain

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

A cloudy morning, a much better afternoon

Then

Standard
Sunday 20th October 

Then, it was simpler
A time of carefree skies
When laughter filled the quiet
And life knew no disguise

Then, the world was softer
With every step we took
No shadows crept behind us
No worries to unhook

But time, it moves so swiftly
And seasons change their hue
Yet in my heart, I keep it
The "then" I shared with you

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

A dull morning turned into a brighter afternoon

And that is why

Standard
Saturday 19th October 

And that is why
The sun rises each day
To chase away the darkness
In its own bright way
To kiss the earth
With its warm golden light
And banish the shadows
Of dreams filled with fright

And that is why
The stars shine in the night
To give us hope
And fill us with delight
To guide us
When we're lost and alone
And remind us that
We're never on our own

Love you so much
Precious sons
Treasured Mum

A beautiful autumn day

The trees stand tall

Standard
Friday 18th October 

The trees stand tall
Branches near bare
Few leaves to rustle 
In the damp air
Their whispers lost
In the grey silence
Their roots anchoring
In calm defiance

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Misty morning
Dull afternoon

Pondering

Standard
Thursday 17th October 

Pondering mysteries of life
The purpose of it all
Wandering through fields of dreams
Where memories recall
Contemplating the universe
Its vastness and wonder
Seeking truths in the stars
Looking up, at those we live under

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Sanctuary

Standard
Wednesday 16th October 

In the quiet of a sanctuary
Sitting and reflecting
A journey continues within
Where the mind is connecting
Introspection stirs
Like a soft, gentle breeze
Bringing forth mysteries
Hidden in silent pleas

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

A damp and misty day

Deep reflection

Standard
Tuesday 15th October 

In a land of deep reflection
Where random thoughts do roam
The mind turns to pondering
Wandering, contemplating alone
Through valleys of uncertainty
And mountains of rising doubt
Searching for those answers
Trying to figure them out

Love you so much
Precious sons
Treasured Mum
Cloudy, then rainy later on

Happy birthday

Standard
Monday 24th October 

Here’s to your laughter
Your dreams, your day
In love and with joy
We’ll find our way
Happy birthday, my husband
My world, my friend
Together forever
Our love has no end

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Cloudy and drizzly today
Riviere Towans looking across St Ives Bay
Gary
The birthday boy
St Ives in the distance

In the midst

Standard
Sunday 13th October 

In the midst
Of the grey monotone
Lies a world
So flat and blown
A landscape
Devoid of colour or light
But within
Its depths there's still a fight

The sky above
Hangs heavy and dark
Blankets of clouds
Cold and stark
No sun to pierce
Through the gloom
No sign of life
No flowers to bloom

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Grey skies today

Taking a moment

Standard
Saturday 12th October 

Taking a moment
And closing eyes
Letting the spirit
Truly rise
Breathing in
All that's good
Then releasing all
That's misunderstood

Love you so much
Precious sons
Treasured Mum
