Sunshine spills

Standard
Wednesday 10th September 

Sunshine spills
Then rain descends
A quiet hush
The storm transcends

Peace settled soft
Then chaos takes hold
A fragile story
Bravely told

Elegant grace
With edges frayed
A beauty seen
Though disarrayed

Triumph flares
Then shadows creep
A victory won
Failure to keep

Strong the core
Yet weakens too
A human heart
Honest and true

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

We haven’t seen the rain

Standard
Tuesday 9th September 

We haven't seen the rain
For five weeks or more
I know we've been lucky
But now it's starting to pour

The garden's dry and dusty
Flowers starting to fade
And now the clouds are heavy
An essential tirade

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Flying home

Standard
Monday 8th September 

Flying home
Across the sea
Two hour flight
To Newquay
We've had fun
With family
Grateful that
We're able to be
Lucky to travel
So carefree

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Holiday’s end

Standard
Sunday 7th September 

Tavira's charm 
A gentle start
Sun-kissed days
Within the heart

Santa Luzia
Waters clear
Those memories
Held so dear

Faro's streets 
A final stroll
Summer's story
Left in the soul

Holiday's end
The golden hue
Time to bid
A last adieu

Flight plans laid
The journey's call
Moments shared
Embracing all

Homeward bound 
A distant shore
Summer's echo
For evermore

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Sandy toes

Standard
Friday 5th September 

Sandy toes
Sunscreen nose
Soft wind blows
Sunshine glows
Selfie pose
Deckchair doze
Highs and lows
Tidal flows
Summer clothes
Warm repose
Don't suppose
There are those
Long shadows
Salt meadows

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Tavira traversing

Standard

Tavira traversing
Riverside relaxing
Long lounging luncheon
Shaded seating
Transitory time
Restful recharging
Easily enjoyable
Perfectly peaceful
Unhurriedly undemanding

Love you so much
Precious sons
Treasured Mum

Gold-veined marble

Standard
Wednesday 3rd September 

Beautiful gold-veined marble
Waves roll gently in
Caressing the sunlit shore
Whispers of the wind begin

Ripples dance upon the surface
Mirroring the sky so blue
Nature's art, a timeless grace
Each hue has a vibrant view

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Fabulous Fuseta

Standard
Tuesday 2nd September 

Fabulous Fuseta
Where time drifts slow
Long lazy lunch
Under umbrella's shadow
Soft silky sand
Touches each stride
Warm welcoming water
A gentle tide

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum
