Man with the kite 

Standard

Tuesday 6th June

   

The wind has blown the rain away

Thoughts of you are carried in the breeze

But my love for you won’t be scattered

As those fragile leaves shaken from trees

I’ll hold on tight

Like the man with the kite

And breathing slowly, my pain to ease.

  

Beloved Angel son

Flying high

The beach, red-flagged today, but good for kite flying

An empty beach, with rough seas

Lots of white horses

Much calmer in the harbour

Okay

Standard

Monday 5th June

   

Drops of rain

Hide the tears

Not the pain

Lasts for years

  

Cold sea breeze

Blowing strong

Ill at ease

All day long

  

Feeling down

Don’t know why

Forehead frown

Great big sigh

  

So, tomorrow

Brand new day

That I know

I’ll be okay

  

Angel son

In my heart

Thirty years young

Never apart

Cold, wet and windy. Sheltering beneath the trees

Where you loved to play

Sunday 4th June

  

Missing you so very much

On this beautiful sunny day

Remembering your smile

When we planned our holiday

Full of enthusiasm

For fun on our getaway

  

But since you flew to heaven

Many thoughts are tinged with grey

But the flowers in our garden

Leave a colourful bouquet

And smiling as I think of you

‘Cos that’s where you loved to play

  

Missing you my sweet Angel

And so that’s all I have to say

Sitting in the back garden, aged five

Snap-dragons in our garden today

Colourful, tall antirrhinums

Dancing fuchsia

Another pretty beach day 

A walk along the beach

Standard

Saturday 3rd June

  

A walk along the beach

With sand beneath your toes

Watching the surf roll in

Smiling as the breeze blows.

  

Leaving footprints behind

Little steps show the way

Where you’ve been, where you’ll go

Wish you’d walk home to stay.

  

Up and down, across the shore

Lost in your own quiet world

As breaking waves roll in

Above, the clouds unfurled.

  

My precious beach Angel

Clutching your favourite book

Walking the sands in heaven

No more a downcast look.

Porthmeor Beach this afternoon

Holidaymakers enjoying the surf

Waves rolling in

Nothing prepares you for this

Thursday 1st June

   

I have learnt to hide my pain

So you cannot hear my cries

  

It doesn’t hurt any less

I’m a master of disguise

   

You cannot see my face

With tears falling from my eyes

   

Waking up every morning

As I face the new sunrise

  

I know I won’t get him back

But my eyes still search the skies

  

Somewhere in the clouds he’s there

For my little Starman flies

   

Nothing prepares you for this

When your beloved son dies

   

Sleep tight Angel

Boats at low tide

The lifeboat on show

Adieu

Standard

Wednesday 31st May

    

A  swirling river of twinkling stars

Forever flowing towards the sea

Impossible to catch reflections

As it incessantly flows past me

  

As diamond raindrops fall from the sky

Bouncing off the tall green blades of grass

Soon coating my face with falling tears

I know this troubling storm will soon pass

  

The enveloping mist surrounds me

As I stand silently close to you

Protecting me from the outside world

So I can quietly whisper ‘Adieu’

  

Love you forever

Forgotten never

Angel son

Always young

Precious one

Tuesday 30th May 

   

There is so much pain and grief

Your time on this earth too brief

And now that you have gone

The world simply carries on

But your legacy remains

Beautiful memories sustains

My broken heart keeps beating

Love for you, never retreating

Dearest, darling Angel son

My beloved, precious one.
