Saturday 28th October

Your presence is here, it’s all around

In every room, on the empty chair

In each outing, in the back of the car

Although I know you’re now elsewhere

In every single minute of each day

In the calm silence, in the loud roar

You’re in my head, in my dreams

Know that I’ll love you forever more

My sweetheart 

My darling

My Angel

My son

Grey and dull this morning

Friday 27th October

A sunny Friday

Where would you be?

Walking on the sand

With shoes in the sea

Running and jumping

Waves can’t catch me

Loving the fresh air

So young and carefree

My darling Angel

So precious is he

The sunshine is bringing out the holidaymakers

So many playing in the sea

Sunny harbour at low tide

A bank of clouds in the distance

Thursday 26th October

As I blindly stumble along

The twisting road of grief

No directions along the way

To give me some relief

   
Each route leads off at a tangent

Like none encountered before

Further and further away

Til you lose sight of the shore

Each track is so individual

A lonely walk of heartbreak

Once on, you can’t step off

With memories just keepsake

The journey seems neverending

But I know I’ll see you again

For now you’re gently enfolded

Safe in my heart until then

My darling Angel son

Wednesday 25th October

My precious son

I’m missing you

There is nothing

That I can do

My sweetheart child

So far away

I think of you

Each night and day

My darling boy

Love you so much

I really wish

Our hands could touch

Treasured lad

Remembering

Up on a cloud

You’re slumbering

Beloved Angel

Up there you fly

I’m whispering

A lullaby

Half term holidaymakers enjoying the beach

Tuesday 24th October

I miss you so much

But I know you’re an angel

Life without you

Is just so painful

Love you forever

Forget you never

Darling son

Forever young

Monday 23rd October

When I came upstairs that evening

It was to kiss you goodnight

To tuck you in, smooth the covers

And then turn out the light

But when I came upstairs that evening

Just how little did I know

It would be to kiss you goodbye

And then I had to let you go

My darling

My son

My Angel

Dark skies over Hayle

Sunday 22nd October

You can’t see a broken heart

You can’t hear a silent scream

You can’t dry hidden tears

You can’t soothe a painful dream

But they’re always there

A perpetual flow of reminders

Coursing through our lives

Leaving us to be survivors

For every single moment

You are everywhere around

In my heart, in my head

When I am nowhere to be found
    

Love you so much my Angel

My precious son

To Frank
  
One more minute
Another hour
Just one day
Wish I had the power
 
One more minute
Another night
A little more time
I’d make it right
 
One more minute
Another chance
To hold you close
Your smile, I’d glance
 
One more minute
Another sunrise
A golden sunset
Please open your eyes
 
One more minute
To have you here
To make memories
I’d keep you near
  
One more minute
That’s all I need
To say “I love you”
Heartfelt indeed
  
One more minute
I’d say to you
“Never forgotten”
So precious, that’s true
  
One more minute
One more kiss
One more hug
Perfect bliss
  
One more minute
Those times we had
I’d say “Thank you”
My darling lad
 
One more minute
What I wouldn’t give
To have you back
So you can live
 
One more minute
To take it all in
Knowing that soon
Pain will begin
 
One more minute
But now you’re gone
And in my heart
You’ll live on
 
Love Mum
