Believing in tomorrow

Standard
Saturday 25th October 

Believing in tomorrow 
A brighter embrace
Faith as the compass
Finding your place
Lifting voices high
Letting the world hear
In bravery’s echo
Dispelling every fear

Love you so much

The bloom fades fast

Standard
Thursday 23rd October 

The bloom fades fast
The glow departs
As humdrum tasks
Reclaim our hearts

No longer basking
In the sun's bright ray
Just shopping lists 
To face the day

Suitcases unpacked
Clothes on the floor
Washing machine
Starts to roar

The heat subsides 
A cooler breeze
Grey skies return
Through rustling trees

No cocktails sweet
No ocean feast
Back to normal
For a while, at least

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Early, early morning

Standard
Wednesday 22nd October 

Early, early morning
The alarm cries out
Three thirty ticks by
Night whispers about

Airport before five
The sky starts to glow
Dreams of holidays 
Just a heartbeat ago

As the engines roar
The plane lifts high
Across the clouds
It starts to fly

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Slow farewell

Standard
Tuesday 21st October 

And it's a slow farewell
To a wonderful summer's spell

Lingering warmth of sun on soft skin
Memories made from deep within

Golden days now start to fade
As autumn colours are displayed 

Gentle breezes whisper low
Where summer's vibrant flowers grow

Sweet fragrance lingers in the air
A final moment beyond compare

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Golfing range

Standard
Sunday 19th October 

Golfing range beckons
Green and wide
A peaceful space
Where worries hide

The rhythmic swing 
A gentle grace
A smile appears
Upon the face

The ball takes flight 
A soaring dream
Beside the putting
Surface green

Relaxing thoughts
Begin to flow
Watching lazy
Welcome breezes go

No pressure here
Just simple fun
Beneath the warm
And golden sun

A perfect end
To day's sweet song
Where I truly feel 
That I belong

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Portugal’s charm

Standard
Saturday 18th October 

Lagos sun rises warm and gold
Marina craft bobbing new and old
Burgau beach, a tranquil scene
Worries fade, life is serene

Guia calls, a gentle hum
The piri piri aromas succumb
Chicken sizzles, spice takes hold
A taste of Portugal, brave and bold

From bustling streets to ocean breeze
A journey travelled with such ease
Sleepy Guia, a welcome sight
Filled with flavours, warm and bright

Memories linger, sweet and clear
Of Lagos, Burgau, holding dear
The piri piri's fiery kiss
Portugal's charm, just can't resist

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Engines roar

Standard
Friday 17th October 

Engines roar like thunder
Slicing through the air
At Autódromo Internacional
The thrill's beyond compare

Wheels spin and tires screech 
A dance upon the track
With every lap they race
There’s no time to look back

So many twists and turns
There's no room to spare
As the adrenaline flows 
Screaming through the air

Love you so much
Precious sons

On Lagos streets

Standard
Thursday 16th October 

On Lagos streets
Bustling life takes hold
October sunshine
Paints scenes of gold

Market stalls
With colors bright
Clothing, bags, linens 
A feast in sight

Vibrant commodities
Daring and sweet
With every step
In the city's heartbeat

Lagos Portugal

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum
