Monday 27th November 

Amid the downpour 
And turbulent sway 
Finding strength within 
To light the way 
In darkest moments 
When all seems forlorn 
Weathering the storm 
As a new day is born 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Sunday 26th November 

Background anguish 
A silent hum 
Far-flung panic 
Where fears become 

Remote anxiety 
In shadows concealed 
Secluded depression 
Its depths revealed 

Outlying melancholy 
A solitary tune 
Isolated echoes 
Of a private gloom 

Abstract struggles 
Paint a somber veneer 
Outside, all's fine 
Or so it does appear 

Inside, screaming nightmares 
With secrets to tell 
Camouflaged carefully 
Saying all is well 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Saturday 25th November 

Off to Exeter 
A CT scan 
A quick check up 
Do what I can 
To keep healthy 
Much better than 
The alternate 
Shortened lifespan 

Love you so much
Treasured sons

Friday 24th November 

Always have hope 
For then there's light 
Believe in dreams 
They can take flight 
Optimism triumphs 
Over pessimism's weight 
Clouds hold silver linings 
A hopeful state 

Maybe not today 
Perhaps not tomorrow 
Eagerness and enthusiasm 
Dissolve the sorrow 
In gentle anticipation 
Progress is found 
A brighter future 
May soon come around 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Thursday 23rd November 

A year has passed 
Since you were near 
Remembering Mum 
The one we hold dear 
Missed so much 
Your smile and laugh 
The echo of memories 
From a photograph 

Love you so much 
Beloved sons

Wednesday 22nd November 

Thinking and pondering 
On a wistful day
As time keeps passing 
In its own way 
Being introspective 
Reflective, and musing 
Contemplation's dance 
Quietly diffusing 

Can I do better 
Am I on the right road? 
Did I choose the path 
Where dreams are stowed? 
How will I know 
Who'll guide me through? 
In the search for answers 
Where counsel is true 

Love you so much
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Tuesday 21st November 

No idea of the storms 
That internally brew 
The battles fought 
The struggles to construe 
It's a journey unique 
Known to a few 
The strength found within 
A voyage to push through  

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Monday 20th November 

Silence descends 
A calm embrace 
Peaceful moments 
Chaos to erase 
Serene and soothing 
A gentle balm 
Softening jarring thoughts 
A healing calm 
Fears find solace 
In this quiet space 
A smile returns 
A familiar grace 
Tightness relaxes 
Unravels its hold 
The hush of tranquility 
Where gentleness is gold 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Sunday 19th November 

You can't explain what it's like, 
The depth 
Unless you've walked through it 
Felt every breath 
Unless you've lived it 
Faced the tide 
You just don't know 
When there's nowhere to hide 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Saturday 18th November 

What's going on in my head? 
A winding maze 
A jumble of emotions 
In a swirling haze 

Sometimes dark, depressing 
They may be 
Other times lighter 
Filled with hope, carefree 

Running wild 
Thoughts can't be confined 
Veering off on their own 
Tangential and unlined 

In need of calm 
Deep breaths to release 
Seeking the sanctuary 
Where inner storms cease 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum
