Saturday 14th September 

Driving along the coast road 
Steady and slow 
As it snakes down to Zennor 
Where the wild winds blow 

A landscape of granite 
Rugged and bare 
Holding stories of time 
In the salt-laden air 

Green fields stretch wide 
Grazed by the breeze 
Cloaked in a calm 
That whispers through trees 

Billowing clouds roll 
Across the sky
Casting shadows 
Where the hillsides lie 

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Friday 13th September 

Thinking 
In the quiet of the night 
Where shadows 
Mingle with the fading light 
The mind wanders 
Like a leaf in the breeze 
Chasing thoughts 
Drifting with ease 

Love you so much
Precious sons

Thursday 12th September 

Sunflowers grown 
From seed so small 
Now towering high 
So proud and tall 
With golden faces 
Turned to the sun 
Bringing a smile 
To everyone 

Now they sway 
In autumn's light 
Strong and steady 
A golden sight 
From seeds once buried 
Hidden so deep 
They've now bloomed 
A treasure to keep 

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Wednesday 11th September 

Grey: the colour of a stormy sky 
Of clouds thick and heavy 
But also of a gentle mist 
Of mornings calm and steady 

It's beauty lies in neutrality
A balance it portrays
Blending black and white
In a gentle, calming haze 

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Tuesday 10th September 

Beneath the quiet sky 
Standing alone 
In fields where whispers 
Of the wind have blown 
Watching stars above 
Candles in the night 
Hiding ancient stories 
In flickering light 

Love you so much
Beloved sons

Monday 9th September 

A slight chill in the air 
Its touch so light 
Autumn’s first breath 
An end to summer’s flight 
A few leaves are falling 
Colours turning brown 
Dancing on breezes 
Scuttling on the ground 

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Sunday 8th September 

There are times when 
The sun won’t rise 
When the sky wears 
A heavy disguise 
When silence stretches 
A weight in the air 
And you're left to wonder 
Is anyone there? 

What happened then? 
A moment passed 
Like the fleeting shadow 
That doesn't last 
The world stood still 
In quiet refrain 
Gathering yourself 
Amidst the rain 

There are times when 
The heart feels slow 
Like a river beneath 
With hidden flow 
Yet even in stillness 
Time presses on 
And what happened then 
Becomes long gone 

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Saturday 7th September 

Cloudy skies 
A soft, grey hue 
The world feels distant 
Slightly out of view 

A peaceful moment
With whispered sigh 
As overcast hours 
Drift on by 

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Friday 6th September 

The post-holiday blues 
They stealthily creep 
Those memories linger 
Vivid and deep 
But though the journey 
Has met its end 
The road ahead 
Waits round the bend 

There’s always next time 
Another day 
When the skies call 
And we'll drift away 
New adventures await 
Just out of sight 
To fill our hearts 
Reignite the light 

And so for now 
Dream of what's to come 
Knowing that wanderlust 
Is never done 
With every goodbye 
There’s a future hello 
With the promise of places 
We'll someday know 

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Thursday 5th September 

So our holiday 
Has come to an end 
With memories made 
Around every bend 
Portugal’s Algarve 
With sun-kissed shore 
Leaves us longing 
For just one day more 

The waves, the skies 
The quiet breeze 
The golden sands 
And sparkling seas 
Memories made 
Though we depart 
A piece of this place 
Stays in our heart 

Love you so much
Precious sons
Treasured Mum
