Thursday 22nd November

.

And there you’ll be

Beyond the third star to the right

Straight on ’til morning

Shining oh so bright

.

My precious Angel son

Love you forever

Fly high Starman

For ever and ever

Wednesday 21st November

.

All those moments

We had together

Mean so much now

That you’ve gone forever

.

You gave us memories

Times that bring a smile

Although hearts are broken

Doesn’t hurt for a while

.

We think about you

Every single day

Now you rest with angels

It’s with them you play

.

Precious Angel son

St. Michael’s Mount, across the fields, silhouetted against the clouds

Tuesday 20th November

.

Without the sun

All’s flat and grey

A little light

Brings colour into play

.

The suns’ rays

Brighten the beach

Welcome warmth

Is within reach

.

It’s as if

Your beaming smile

Hugs my heart

For a while

.

Love you sweetie

Precious Angel son

Missing you poppet

Now forever young

.

The sun shining down on a corner of the harbour

A big swell hitting Lambeth Walk, late afternoon

Monday 19th November

.

I do so wish for the touch

Of your long-departed hand

To hear the sound of laughter

Come wafting across dreamland

To gaze upon your sweet face

With a smile that melts my heart

I’ll just have to close my eyes

Trying hard to forget we’re apart

.

Love you my Angel

Dearest darling son

Sunday 18th November

.

I spend time

Looking to the sky

As I know

That’s where you fly

.

I see you

High above the clouds

No one notices

As I mingle with crowds

.

But I know

That’s where you are

My sweet child

You’re the brightest star

.

With the angels

Wrapped in wings of love

Looking down

From your new home above

.

Missing you

And I always will

Loving you

Gently, I hold you still

.

Chilly and breezy on Porthmeor Beach

Choppy seas in the harbour

Saturday 17th November

.

Your smiling face

Your cheeky grin

The only way

I’ll see them

Is photographs

Albums within

Happy days

Searching therein

For all the times

When love did reign

Heartbeats begin

Happy again

.

Love you forever

My darling Angel son

Your cheeky grin

Friday 16th November

.

Not just today

But every day

My heart breaks

My body aches

Out of the blue

We lost you

Darling son

Forever young

An Easterly wind blows across Porthmeor Beach

Cold and grey in the harbour

Wednesday 14th November

.

Back home again, finally

After being together, happily

Sharing days as family

Precious moments, thankfully

‘Though time passed so speedily

.

And every step of the way

You were with us each day

Beneath the warm sun’s ray

Enjoying a foreign holiday

With angels you do play

.

Love you sweetie

Miss you forever

Precious Angel son

Driving home through Somerset

Some leaves still on the trees, but many turning golden brown

The ‘nearly there’ trees, on the border between Devon and Cornwall

Frank’s carnations still looking fresh

Almost all the leaves have fallen

Bright flashes of colour

Sweetheart

Tuesday 13th November

.

Homeward journey begins

Our short holiday does end

Saying goodbye to

Luke and girlfriend

.

Time went fast

The trip was short

To see how they’re doing

All’s good to report

.

Through the countryside

Towards Lisbon

The sun shines down

On everyone

.

A little free time

To wander around

Then off to the airport

Flying north bound

.

And you’d have fun

My darling Angel son

Heavenly loved one

Now forever young

.
