Sunday 25th January 

When morning comes
And skies are clear 
A gentle warmth 
Draws patience near 

The world awakens 
With a glow
Transforming all 
With sunlit show 

In every heart 
A brighter spark 
It’s better when 
Sun leaves its mark 

Love you so much 
Beloved sons

Saturday 24th January 

The grey expanse 
Begins to sigh 
A steady rhythm 
Meets the sky 
With whispers soft 
The winds do blow
Spreading tales  
Of love and woe 

The trees bend down 
As if to hear 
The echoes of 
Forgotten cheer 
Their branches sway 
With gentle grace 
While shadows dance 
In dusk's embrace 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Friday 23rd January 

The steady drops 
Descend in somber hue 
The heavy clouds 
Obscure the heavenly blue 

This endless grey 
Does weigh upon the soul 
A longing deep 
For days that make us whole 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Thursday 22nd January 

So much unseen 
A different truth resides 
A hidden depth 
Where true emotion glides 

The surface shows 
A calm and easy way 
But underneath 
The shadows hold sway 

Love you so much 
Beloved sons

Wednesday 21st January 

Those precious gifts 
Shine so very bright 
Don't let passing time 
Obscure their light 

Hold dear the bonds 
Of those walking with you 
Speaking of love 
In all you say and do 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Treasured Mum

Tuesday 20th January 

Life's fleeting moments 
Like birds in flight 
Encourage us to grasp 
To hold them tight 

Opportunities bold 
Beneath the vast sky 
For every chance taken 
The spirit can fly 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Monday 19th January 

It's just easier 
To hide away 
To shade the light 
From break of day 
Less painful paths 
So often tread 
Yet still you dwell 
Within my head 

Love you so much 
Precious Angel son

Sunday 18th January 

Forty one candles 
Should burn bright today 
But a number you never quite 
Reached on this way 

Just those thirty years 
Was your time to stay 
Eleven more vanished 
Into a numb, soft grey 

Grief is a tide 
That will never depart 
Washing anew 
Upon a broken heart 

We celebrate you 
With a long, sad sigh 
For the part of your life 
That's just hurried by 

Heaven holds moments 
We cannot reclaim 
Whispering softly 
Your beautiful name 

Though forty one 
Where the calendar falls 
Thirty is all 
That our memory recalls 

The missing years 
Ache with a hollow sound 
Right here on this earthly 
Solitary ground 

No matter how long 
As memories replay 
It will always feel 
Like yesterday 

Love you so much 
Precious Angel son
Happy heavenly birthday 
Now forever young

Saturday 17th January 

Beneath the smile 
Beyond the tears 
Behind the everyday 
Below the surface 

You don't see 
You don't feel 
You don't know 
You don't grieve 

Hidden 
Disguised 
Withheld 
Concealed 

It's easier 
Less painful 
Private 
Separate 

But you're there 
Beating within 
Those memories 
Forever 

Love you so much 
Precious Angel

Friday 16th January 

The rain falls 
And does not cease 
Just heavy skies  
Downpours increase 

The world is washed 
In muted tone 
Where every shadow 
Seems to groan 

These endless drops 
A pavement stain 
Reflect a dull 
And constant pain 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum
