Tuesday 24th December 

On Christmas Eve 
In the warm Spanish sun 
La Cala de Mijas 
Where joy has begun 
Our family group gathers 
Hearts all aglow 
For a long, leisurely lunch 
With love to bestow 

The sea whispers secrets 
To the golden sand 
As we feast and laugh 
Hand in hand 
The air's filled with cheer 
The scent of the pine 
A festive escape 
From winter's confine 

Plates piled with tapas 
Each more delicious 
Conversations flow 
No one is in a rush 
The sun dips low 
Painting skies with delight 
As we share stories 
With laughter and light 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum
