Christmas windows

Standard
Wednesday 6th December 

Christmas windows
Aglow with cheer
Decorations and cards
Time's drawing near
Quietly holding back
A wistful gaze
Watching, observing
Through misty maze
Remembering
How it used to be
In the whispers
Of a cherished memory
Amidst the mirth
A touch of rue
Wistfulness lingers
The saddest hue

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Cold and grey
Truro Christmas market
Truro Cathedral

Out of balance

Standard
Tuesday 5th December 

A lost child
Can't be replaced
There's no one
That can fill the space
You might learn
To live with their absence
But your life
Is left out of balance

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum
No rain today 👍🏻

A kaleidoscope

Standard
Monday 4th December 

A kaleidoscope
Of memories gleam
Splintered echoes
Of a distant dream
In the mind's lens
A shifting view
The dance of time
Both old and new
Amidst the whirlpool
Find clarity's art
Repairing the pain
Of a broken heart
In the mosaic of life
Patterns arise
Within pensive thoughts
Find where beauty lies

Love you so much
Treasured sons

Rain and gales today

Grains of thoughts

Standard
Sunday 3rd December 

Grains of thoughts
Like spilling sand
Fragments of moments
In shadows stand
Swirling, spiralling
In a mystic trance
In and out of focus
Life's fleeting dance

Love you so much
Beloved sons

Grey and drizzly again

Never let go

Standard
Saturday 2nd December 

Never let go
Of dreams that soar
Let your eyes see
Possibilities galore
Deep breaths
The first step embrace
Brave in the journey
Set the pace
Be the best for you
And not the crowd
In your essence
Stand tall and proud
You're important
A shining star
Meaningful to someone
Near or far
Take in surroundings
Life's sweet zest
Live fully now
Be your very best

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Cloudy at first, then rain, rain, rain…..

December's here
Bittersweet cheer
Wish you were near
Loved ones so dear

You're like the stars
Shining so bright
A wintry glow
A tender light
Heartfelt wishes
Wrapped with love
Are sent to you
In heaven above

Chill air

Standard
Thursday 30th November 

Chill air whispers
The rain's refrain
Snowflakes tiptoe
Down a wintry lane

Wrapped up warm
In layers, snug
Gloves and scarf
Like a gentle hug

Cold cheeks touched
With icy fingers
Grey leaden skies
The dampness lingers

Monotone hues
Set a muted scene
A hunt for warmth
Is earnest and keen

Love you so much
Precious sons

But we didn’t see any snow in St Ives
Jolly cold though
A bit fuzzy, but Carn Brea had a dusting of snow

Nights drawing in

Standard
Wednesday 29th November 

Nights drawing in
Twilight descends
Curtains pulled
As daylight ends
The heating's on
Warming the place
Comforting all
A soft embrace

Love you so much

Grey and murky this morning
A little brighter this afternoon

Results

Standard
Tuesday 28th November 

In shadows cast
By silent fears
A tale unfolds
Dispelling tears
It's melanoma's
Ominous trace
In CT scans
A hopeful grace

No metastatic
Evidence found
Normal echoes
All around
Colonoscopy
Results in too
Polyps removed
All's good, thank you

Ten years in the
Clinical trial
Grateful heart
Evokes a small smile
Quietly high-fiving
The uneasy unseen
A dance with hope
Where fears have been

No jinx is cast
Just caution's thread
Vigilance lingers
Where worries tread
Safe sun care
An eternal oath
Copious sunscreen
Prevents cancer growth

Malignant melanoma
A sneaky beast
The worry's still there
But there's hope at least
A healthy lifestyle
Common sense in the sun
Enjoying this life
The battle's near won

Love you so much
Treasured sons
