With every wish

Standard
Tuesday 3rd June 

With every wish 
A spark ignites
Guiding lost
And distant nights

Through shadows cast
By doubt's own hand
Reaching for places
Yet unplanned

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

The mirror sees

Standard
Monday 2nd June 

The mirror sees
The lines of time
Each wrinkle sings 
Of life’s own rhyme

Yet wisdom weaves
Through silver years
A tapestry
Of joys and tears

An eye test today
A new prescription
Becoming older
Not an affliction

Love you so much
Precious sons
Treasured Mum

The spark ignites

Standard
Sunday 1st June 

The spark ignites
A heart’s soft plea
A fragile wish
Beneath the tree
It holds the stars
It dares the dawn
A whispered strength
To carry on

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Hoping Thinking

Standard
Saturday 31st May 

Hoping for a gentle light
While thinking guides with steadfast might

Hoping can dream of sunny days
When thinking plans thoughtful ways

Hoping may paint a future bright
So thinking sharpens day and night

Hoping smiles with calming grace
Then thinking sets the measured pace

Hoping breathes a sweet perfume
As thinking clears away the gloom

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

As

Standard
Friday 30th May 

As a river
Runs through the mind
Carving paths
Where shadows unwind
Ideas bloom
Then drift, then fade
Chasing truths
That dreams have made

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Back home again

Standard
Thursday 29th May 

The door clicks shut 
A welcome sound
Back home again
On familiar ground
The kettle on
A cheerful sign
A peaceful haven
All truly mine

Love you so much
Precious sons
Treasured Mum

It’s still raining

Standard
Tuesday 27th May 

It's still raining
A gentle weeping sky
So steadily it falls
Hours drift slowly by

The clouds are grey
A heavy, misty veil
It's still raining
Softly telling a tale

Just longing to see
Brightness in the day
Where is the sun
To chase the gloom away?

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Wandering round Bath

Standard
Monday 26th May

Wandering round Bath
Tripped and fell over
What a silly billy
Just lost my composure

A little stiff and bruised
But none the worse for wear
We carried on walking
But with a bit more care

For every small stumble
We'll pay more attention
Wandering on with a smile
Getting old, don't mention!

Love you so much
Precious sons
Treasured Mum

Rustling leaves

Standard
Sunday 25th May 

Rustling leaves
Top of trees
Steady breeze
River fleas
Choppy seas
Cocktails please
Cups of teas
And coffees
Now at ease
Beers to seize
Steam train wheeze
Castle keys
Dodgy knees

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum
