Rainbow from the coffee shop this morning
A moody Porthmeor Beach
Quite a few surfers in the waves
Hurry up or we’ll get wet
Afternoon coffee views over the harbour

Hoping

Hoping for a better day
Make rain and grey go away
Turn up the music, dance and play
Then happiness might come to stay

Love you both so much

Imagination

Standard
Sunday 6th November 

Imagination
Transported elsewhere
Visualisation
No need for an airfare

Stargazing
Close your eyes if you dare
Daydreaming
Swiftly takes me there

Creativity
So many stories to share
And fantasy
From experience, I declare

Ingenuity
Creating adventures everywhere
Mental agility
In my mind, I'll be there

Love you both so much
Beloved sons

Conclusion

Standard
Saturday 5th November 

Magic Freedom Adventure
From chaos and confusion

To calm composure and clarity
Shaken free from any delusion

Ably facing the world head-on
Whilst finding a solution

Plus a route to reality
Towards a happy conclusion

Love you both so much
Treasured sons

Faithfully

Standard
Friday 4th November 

Doing what makes you happy...
So easy to say
So hard to do
Face the day
Know that it's true

You know what should be done...
Try to let go
Quietly move on
It hurts though
Don't dwell upon

Have done with chasing answers...
Accept what was
Graciously
Because, because
Love faithfully

Love you both so much
Beloved sons

Lost

Standard
Thursday 3rd November 

Lost in the chaos
A little disoriented
Darkness descends
Nightmares demented
Shutting them out
Turbulence prevented

Love you both so much

Blue skies this morning, before the deluge this afternoon

Throughout the day

Standard
Wednesday 2nd November 

Throughout the day
The incessant rain
Like depressing tears
Down a window pane
Colourless skies
Dampening stain
Heavy-hearted clouds
Slipping down the drain

Love you both so much
Precious sons

Holding hands

Standard
Monday 31st October 

Holding hands
Voices heard
Words spoken
But vision blurred

Smiles exchanged
Presence of touch
Falling tears
Loved so much

There's no control
Of how this goes
Confusion blurs
No one knows

Dementia's path
Cruel to see
A mind so lost
Still mum, to me

Love you both so much
Precious sons

Holding mum’s hand
Mum with a very fetching Hallowe’en hat

And…. We’re back home

Standard
Sunday 30th October 

And..... We're back home
Another long drive
Now darker evenings
Time to revive
A better night's sleep
Refreshed to thrive
Facing cooler days
Happiness to strive

Love you both so much
Beloved sons

Sunbeams heading skywards
Sunbeams shining downwards
