Friday 28th February 

Such a rainy morning 
Muddy puddles gathering 
Grey skies overhead 
Shopping centre meandering 

Damp shoes squeaky tiles 
Soft chatter fills the air 
Those umbrellas dripping 
A cozy gloom to share 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Thursday 27th February 

By the river’s 
Gentle flow 
Lunch where 
Soft breezes blow 
Sunlight dances 
Warm and bright 
Hours drift by 
In pure delight 
 
Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Treasured Mum

Wednesday 26th February 

A ferry boat ride 
Out to the island 
Blue skies and sunshine 
Our feet in the sand 

Love you so much 
Precious sons

Tuesday 25th February 

A sunny afternoon 
Unfolds its glow 
In Santa Luzia 
Where soft winds blow 

Algarve’s charm 
Every step to take 
Wandering free 
On our sunshine break

Sparkling light dances 
On the sea so near 
Pretty mosaic walls 
Whisper tales to hear 

The octopus pots 
And tiles of blue 
A tranquil world 
Comes into view 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Monday 24th February 

Just under four hours to Bristol 
Departure gate, waiting to board
Hopefully not too crowded 
Then new lands to be explored 

Flying over the Bay of Biscay 
Then onwards to Portugal 
Time for a little break 
It'll be quite adorable 

Oh dearie me, spoke too soon 
Flight will be delayed 
A technical issue 
Nerves are getting frayed

And finally we've arrived 
After such a long day 
Waiting, delays and queuing 
Now heads on pillows, to lay 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Sunday 23rd February 

Taking stock 
Preparing 
Pack sunblock 
Organising 

Leave the rain 
Tomorrow we go 
Board the plane 
Sunshine glow 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Saturday 22nd February 

Reminiscing on 
All those days past 
The moments held 
And shadows cast 

The laughter shared 
The tears that fell 
Memories whispered 
I know them well 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Friday 21st February 

Sitting down 
A peaceful space 
A smile plays softly 
On one's face 

Thinking thoughts 
Both big and small 
Watching leaves 
Begin to fall 

Looking inward 
To the soul 
Finding strength 
Making one whole 

Reflecting on 
What life imparts 
The beauty held 
Within the heart 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Thursday 20th February 

Facing the day 
A hollow glare 
Landscape twists 
Nothing there 

Sense unravels 
A frayed thread 
Feelings numb 
A muted dread 

No sounds rise 
No whispers call 
Just silent echoes 
Of a heavy fall 

Screams of absence 
Sharp and shrill 
Rebounding loud 
In air so still 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Wednesday 19th February 

In the quiet corners 
Peace will align 
Thoughts like whispers 
Intertwine 

Finding, seeking 
Deep reflection 
A dance of intellect 
And affection 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Treasured Mum
