Sixteen years

Standard
Sunday 5th October 

Sixteen years
Have come and gone
But in my heart
You still live on

Laughter and wisdom
Your voice still clear
In our adventures 
I feel you near

Though time has taken 
Your presence away
The memories remain
And forever will stay

My father 'Hank'
Missing our fun and laughter
The adventures and escapades

Be brave

Standard
Saturday 4th October 

Be brave, step forth
Into the light
Embrace the dawn
Let dreams take flight
Take risks that thrill
Let your heart lead
In every chance
The courage you need

Love you so much

Thoughts

Standard
Friday 3rd October 

Thoughts like seabirds 
In frantic flight
In closed rooms
Both dark and bright

A jumbled mess 
A scattered scene
Where logic fades
And doubts convene

Ideas clash 
A noisy spree
Yet calm resides
Eventually

The world outside 
A subtle call
Dispelling shadows
Standing tall

The present waits 
A peaceful shore
Where inner storms
Rage on no more

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Embrace the quiet

Standard
Thursday 2nd October 

Embrace the quiet
Gentle grace
Finding joy
In every place

Dwelling within 
A peaceful mind
Leaving the fretful
Thoughts behind

Breathing it in
This gentle air
Banishing sorrow
Casting out despair

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Believe

Standard
Wednesday 1st October 

Believe
In sunshine after rain
Believe
Erase all doubt and pain
Believe 
A future bright and new
Believe
Because it all depends on you 

Love you so much

Being brave

Standard
Tuesday 30th September 

Being brave
The path less known
With each step
Courage has grown

Embracing the risks
That life may send
In every challenge
Finding strength to mend

Proud of the progress
That is achieved
For in the heart 
Much to be believed

Love you so much
Precious sons
Treasured Mum

The world rushes past

Standard
Sunday 28th September 

The world rushes past 
A blur on the run
Sitting in this space
Savouring the sun
The air feels lighter
Worries all fade
This life that's unfolding
Blissfully swayed

Just sliding down
Where silence reigns
In the hush of evening
Where calmness remains
For in this low gear 
So truly alive
The heart of the moment 
Will effortlessly thrive

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Taking a breath

Standard
Friday 26th September 

Taking a breath
The day is new
Time for joys
Both tried and true

Feeling the sun 
A gentle kiss
Enjoying the moments
Now that's pure bliss

Happiness is fragile
Of that, you see
Just an instant
Both wild and free

Holding it close
Within the heart
Letting it shine
Right from the start

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved sons
