Saturday 12th October 

Taking a moment 
And closing eyes 
Letting the spirit 
Truly rise 
Breathing in 
All that's good 
Then releasing all 
That's misunderstood 

Love you so much
Precious sons
Treasured Mum

Friday 11th October 

Whispers in the clouds 
Gentle streaks across the sky 
Icicle fingers stretching 
Reaching far and so high 

Cold delicate tendrils 
Tracing paths unseen 
Touching the earth with silence 
In a world quite serene 

Above they drift and dance 
In the quiet autumnal air 
Fleeting soft eternal 
A moment’s frozen stare 

Love you so much 
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Thursday 10th October 

Contemplation 
In shadows and light 
Peeling back layers 
Exploring the night 
Answers elusive 
Just whispers in air 
Hints of a truth 
Remote and rare 

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Wednesday 9th October 

Caught off guard 
Memories rush 
Unplanned 
A sharp intake of breath 
As I remember 
Your face 
Your smile 
The way you laughed 
And the sigh that followed 
Lingering 
Like the fading light at dusk 
In the quiet 
At the back of my mind 

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Tuesday 8th October 

Solitude cradles the soul 
In its outstretched arm 
Shielding from chaos 
Protecting from harm 
Within the stillness 
Whisperings grow near 
Revealing mysteries 
They've yet to hear 

Love you so much
Beloved sons

Monday 7th October 

What do they see 
When gazing from the shore? 
A soul disconnected 
Finally seeking no more? 
But deep in the stillness 
There’s freedom so rare 
A moment of peace 
Perfectly unaware 

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Sunday 6th October 

So swiftly the moments 
Slipped out of our reach 
So slowly the lessons 
Life’s trials would teach 
So bright were the stars 
We once dreamt under 
So quickly they faded 
With rolls of thunder

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Saturday 5th October 

Fifteen years 
Have drifted by 
Since we last 
Said goodbye 
The echoes of 
Laughter still ring 
In quiet moments 
They softly sing 
Fifteen years 
Blurred what we knew 
But my heart holds 
Memories of you 

My father 'Hank' 
Missing our fun and laughter 
The adventures and escapades 
4.2.1932 – 5.10.2009

Friday 4th October 

The path that was certain 
The life that we planned 
Now lies in the distance 
Just dust in our hand 
The laughter that echoed 
Across seas of tomorrow 
Replaced by the silence 
The weight of our sorrow 

Love you so much 
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Thursday 3rd October 

Clouds pass above 
In soft, quiet flight 
Sunlight dissolves 
Into shimmering light 
The world spins around 
Without a care  
Whilst drifting away 
Quite unaware 

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum
