The rain in Spain

Standard
Sunday 4th January 

The rain in Spain
Is quite a pain
We'd like the sunshine
To be back again

Puddles remain
Overflowing drain
Leaving behind
Flooded terrain

Red warnings proclaim
Mustn't complain
Just stay indoors
Safety to maintain

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

A little drizzle

Standard
Saturday 3rd January 

A little drizzle
On the street
Each drop a song
A gentle beat

Soft whispers
From clouds above
Wraps the world
In silver love

Wet pavements
Glisten in the light
Each step taken
Puddles of delight

Reflecting dreams
Of skies so grey
In the coolness
Ending the day

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Fuengirola

Benalmádena

Standard
Friday 2nd January 

Yachts sway gently
Masts held high
Seagulls dance
Beneath a muted sky

Boats lined up
Row upon row
Watching currents
Ebb and flow

Love you so much
Beloved sons
Treasured Mum

This New Year’s Day

Standard
Thursday 1st January 

This New Year's Day
Turned out quite grey
But hope whispers softly
Calling the sun to play

And through the gloom 
A promise breaks free
The world starts to stir
Straining to see

The rain won't linger
It must find its way
Leaving behind a canvas
With which to play

With every drop falling
A chance to renew
A fresh start awaits
That'll see us through

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum
