Friday 18th November 

A fleeting smile 
Can hide so much 
Inner demons 
Kicked into touch 
Seeking balance 
Calm thoughts are such 
Restoring hope
To that I'll clutch 

Love you both so much 
My darling sons

Thursday 17th November 

Heavy clouds 
Ponderous 
Falling rain 
Dolorous  

Horizon 
Slow melting 
Sea and sky 
Connecting 

Lack of hue 
Uninspired 
Colourless 
Dull and tired 

Love you both so much 
Beloved sons 
xxxxx 

Wednesday 16th November 

Life can be so unfair 
And nothing is guaranteed 
I cherish what I have 
But difficult indeed 

Love you both so much 
Precious sons

Tuesday 15th November 

The raindrops and teardrops 
Languidly descending 
Wet cheeks and sodden earth 
The dankness unending 
Searching for clearer days 
Sunshine and joy blending 

Love you both so much 
Beloved sons 
xxxxx 

Monday 14th November 

A maelstrom 
Of emotions 
Just going through 
All the motions 
And fending off 
Grief explosions 

Love you both so much 
Precious sons

Sunday 13th November 

I visit my memories 
'Cos that's where I find you 
With smiles and laughter 
All the love we knew 

Down that well-trodden road 
So easy to walk through 
With a spring in my step 
As you come into view 

Nightmares are banished 
All my dreams come true 
I can picture you there 
A precious rendezvous 

Love you both so much 
Treasured sons

Saturday 12th November 

A jumbled maze inside my head 
A labyrinth of alleyways 
An entanglement of discord 
With too many nebulous days 

Simply waiting to shake free 
To see a clearing through the haze 
Where all troubles dissipate 
And nothing, no longer, can faze 

Love you both so much 
Precious sons 
xxxxx 

Friday 11th November 

Behind closed doors 
Underneath the mask 
Keeping it together 
Is an uphill task 
It's not as it seems 
If you have to ask 

Love you both so much 
Beloved sons 
xxxxx 

Thursday 10th November 

I just need a moment 
A little bit of time 
To stand back and breathe in 
Harmony can be mine 

Love you both so much 
Precious sons

Wednesday 9th November 

It's another year 
And scan time's here 
Clinical trial 
Different lifestyle 

Nurse so caring 
Always sharing 
Fears to dispel 
Inner thoughts dwell 

Uncertainty 
Hangs heavily 
Settling in 
Mind tailspin 

What works for one 
Not everyone 
Hope for the best 
With every test 

Waiting for results 
Quickening pulse 
Scary and tense 
Worry's immense 

So, vigilance 
And surveillance 
A sneaky beast 
Heed changes at least 

Melanoma 
Melanoia 
Scanxiety 
Anxiety 

Love you both so much 
Treasured sons 
xxxxx
