The last day of the year

Standard
Wednesday 31st December 

The last day of the year
Leisurely roaming along
The busy waterfront
The sun's rays quite strong
Parrots darting about
With a raucous birdsong

Waves lap gently at the shore
As children play on the sand
Echoes of joy, a sweet encore
Moments held within the hand
Dreams of future help us cope 
Twilight moves over the land 

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

The sun spills gold

Standard
Monday 29th December 

The sun spills gold
Upon the air
A gentle warmth
Beyond compare

The harbour wakes
In light so bright
The water sparkles
Blue and white

Finding a spot
Near tethered boats
Catching every breeze
That gently floats

Those distant gulls
Begin to cry
Beneath the vast
Bright blue sky

The hour does feel
Perfectly designed
To ease the worries
Of the mind

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

The day after the storm

Standard
Sunday 28th December 

The day after the storm
It turned out quite warm
As the morning light did creep 
The world awoke from sleep
Sunshine meanderings
Happy families gatherings
A quiet, gentle ease
Now rustles through the trees 

Love you so much
Precious sons

A rainy day

Standard
Saturday 27th December 

A rainy day
With winds quite strong
Luke caught the bus 
A journey long

From Málaga’s shores
To Sevilla’s heart
Clouds gather round 
A dramatic start

The sky weeps softly 
A rhythmic song
Those raindrops dance
Bouncing along

Onto Tavira
His home is in sight
We've had a great week 
From morn to night

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Eleven Christmases

Standard
Thursday 25th December 

Eleven Christmases have passed you by
No longer here, but in heaven you lie

The twinkle of lights feels dimmer tonight
Searching for your smile, your warmth, your light

The place is quiet where your voice would sound
No footsteps echo on frosted ground

Listening hard in moments of the night
Hoping for whispers from a distant height

Looking toward heaven at stars so bright
Picturing you wrapped in celestial light

Stockings are hung, yet they feel so bare
Reaching out my hand, yet you're not there

Missing you sweetie, in every soft sigh
Beneath the glimmering of the night sky

So this season holds both joy and grief
A rollercoaster beyond belief

Eleven Christmases, yet here in my heart
The bond that we forged will never depart

No matter how long, as memories replay
It will always feel like yesterday

Happy Christmas Frank
Missing you
Love you
Always and forever
Sweet Angel

Christmas Eve

Standard
Wednesday 24th December 

Christmas Eve lunch
A wonderful spot
Right on the beach
We ate quite a lot
Sitting in the sun
Great Spanish food
Watching the waves
Happy, festive mood

Love you so much

#Fuengirola
#Mijas Pueblo.... Sunset and Christmas lights

Sunny with a chill wind

Standard
Monday 22nd December 

Sunny with a chill wind
Above the skies so blue
Snow on the mountain tops
Creates a perfect view

A pleasant walk to town
Where hearts do align
The world feels gently calm
And life is peachy fine

In every single breath
There is a promise clear
Walking by the waterfront
Surely brings loved ones near

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum
