In the midst

Standard
Friday 24th February 

In the midst of this endless gloom
A glimmer of hope begins to bloom
For though the weather may be grey
Brighter skies should be on their way

So I'll try not to despair or fret
For sunny days will come, you bet
And in the meantime, I'll try to find
Joy and beauty in the daily grind

Love you so much

Brighter tomorrow

Standard
Thursday 23rd February 

Leaving pain behind
I'm ready to go
Towards a brighter future
It'll be better, I know
No longer burdened
By yesterday's sorrow
Today I'll look forward
To a brighter tomorrow

Love you so much

The night sky

Standard
Wednesday 22nd February 

The night sky is a canvas
For dreams and fantasies
A place to lose ourselves
In endless possibilities
So though the worries linger
And the night is dark and long
I'll hold onto hope and wonder
And let that guide me on

Love you so much

Cool, but bright this morning

In the still of the night

Standard
Tuesday 21st February 

In the still of the night
When all is quiet and calm
My mind begins to wander
And worries start to swarm
What if tomorrow never comes
Or if it comes too soon?
What if I never find my way
Or if I stumble at noon?

Love you so much
Beloved sons

Porthmeor Beach this afternoon
Quite a few hardy souls having a surf lesson
Man’s Head
Academy Place
Going up Academy Steps
At the top, looking down, over the rooftops towards the harbour

The heart beats heavy

Standard
Monday 20th February 

The heart beats heavy
Burdened with pain
A sadness lingers
Like drenching rain
Such longing for joy
For glimmers of light
To ease this darkness
In the depths of night

Love you so much

Control the uncontrollable

Standard
Sunday 19th February 

Anxiety grips with its icy hand
Trying to control what can't be planned
Mind races with a thousand fears
Trying to hold back the tears

I'm drowning in a sea of doubt
And those silent voices scream and shout
The waves come in, ebb out again
My efforts to stop them, all in vain

I know I must let go of this need
To control what's beyond my reach, take heed
I must learn to trust in the flow of life
Let go of the need to control the strife

Take a deep breath, closing my eyes
Face turned to the ever-changing skies
Shake off the need to control the uncontrollable
Maybe life would be so much more approachable

Love you so much

Cloudy

Standard
Saturday 18th February 

Another cloudy
And damp day
The sky above
A dismal grey
Dreariness seems
Here to stay

But soon a breeze
Blows clouds away
Springtime flowers
Come out to play
With brighter skies
Soon on their way

Love you so much
Treasured sons

Cloudy and damp

Misty drizzle

Standard
Friday 17th February 

Misty drizzle
Grey and light
Falling gently
Through the night
Heavy clouds
That hide the moon
Whispering secrets
In a dulcet tune

Love you so much

Grief changes shape

Standard
Thursday 16th February 

Grief changes shape
But it's always there
A presence that lingers
A weight that we bear

It's the ache in your heart
On a quiet, calm night
The tears that fall
Without reason or might

At times it's a storm
That rages within
A tempest of sorrow
That won't give in

It howls and wails
And screams for release
And when it subsides
There's a sense of peace

During other times
It's a quiet ache
A subtle longing
That just won't abate

It's the memory that clings
So tight to your mind
The one you can't
Leave far behind

Love you so much
Precious sons

It has been drizzly for most of the day

In dreams tonight

Standard
Wednesday 15th February 

Across fields of brown and green
I wander, lost in thought serene
Amidst the rustling leaves
My heart aches, my soul grieves
For in my arms, you're no longer seen

As the sun sets, the stars shine bright
Now I'm left with memories of your light
And how I long for your embrace
To feel the warmth of your sweet face
I'll be with you again in dreams tonight

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Grey and rainy this morning, but it did brighten up later
