And so

Standard

Sunday 4th March

.

And so it was to be

That evening when

You went to bed

Didn’t wake up again

.

You closed your eyes

Your heart stopped beating

So very peaceful for you

When you ceased breathing

.

For us left behind

Empty and broken

Not ready to let go

Goodbyes kissed unspoken

.

So very unexpected

My precious young man

Thought we had more time

Still so much to plan

.

Those memories entrusted

Will always make sure

Your life will live on

Now and for evermore

.

Beloved Angel son

So much more like Spring

Sleep sound

Standard

Saturday 3rd March

.

Snow lies melting on the cold ground

Silence can be heard all around

Making a snowman in the playground

I hear you making not a sound

Marveling at the scene, spellbound

Sleep my Angel, sleep sound

.

Missing you

Love you forever

Precious Angel son

The flowers were still frozen in the vase, and unfortunately I broke it trying to remove them……. you now have new vases, and new flowers!

Think

Standard

Friday 2nd March

.

Think I’ll have a good day

Be normal and keep sane

I think I’m feeling better

Until it hits again

Grief lurks in the shadows

A hidden, grumbling pain

Invisible to most

Tears falling in the rain

.

Always and forever

You will be my son

Fly high above the clouds

My beloved one

.

Snow still lying on the ground

We came to change your flowers, but those that are there were completely frozen in the vase

Cold and grey in the harbour

Broken heart

Standard

Thursday 1st March

.

My broken heart hurts

For you I cannot see

Really wonder why

You’re not here with me

.

Every day I remember

What I had is gone

Then sometimes I smile

Those memories live on

.

Missing you my sweetheart

So sorry we didn’t see you today

Too much snow and ice on roads

Walked down town, slip-sliding away

.

The beach still covered in snow

Chapel on the Island

Home again, snow began, Island barely visible

Feeding blackbirds in the garden ~ blueberries, cereal, sunflower seeds, apples ~they were very hungry

Still very bitter

And today there was snow

Standard

Wednesday 28th February

.

And today there was snow

You would have loved it, I know

A snowball to throw

Pink cheeks all aglow

Feels like fifteen below

Turning into an Eskimo

Arctic winds blow

.

Wish you had been here today to play and make a snowman.

My darling Snow Angel

Love you forever

Going to see you this morning

Snow covered palm fronds

A blizzard blows

Your flowers are snowed under

Later on this afternoon, the sun came out

Towards Man’s Head

Like a lunar landscape

The putting green

No one eating alfresco

Snow covered beach

Beautiful, but so cold

Lambeth Walk

Who dares, runs

Looking down towards the Island, choppy seas beyond

Blue

Standard

Tuesday 27th February

.

Cerulean Blue

The perfect colour for the sky

Deep Blue

The hurt within my heart does occupy

Beautiful Blue

Your sparkling eyes to glorify

Moody Blue

The low demeanour is drawing nigh

Out of the Blue

Memories and love amplify

Icy Blue

The cold tears falling from my eye

Translucent Blue

Your Angel wings to fly

.

Love you sweetie

Moon and back

Forever

Blue skies through the trees

Beautiful Blue seas

Blues at the beach

Harbour Blues

Turnstones on the harbour wall

Curious little sea birds

Although

Standard

Monday 26th February

.

Although you’re no longer

Where you were before

I know you’re still with me

And I love you all the more

Gone from my sight

Your memories I care for

Remembering you daily

On Angel wings you soar

.

My darling Angel son

The branches of the tree near your resting place

Sideways waves across Porthmeor Beach

Steely grey skies…. but no snow yet…..

So very hard

Standard

Sunday 25th February

.

Tripping over brambles and undergrowth

Blindly stumbling in the dark

Squelching through treacly mud

Grief certainly isn’t a walk in the park

.

You had so much to give and share

You filled our lives with plenty of joy

And now that you are no longer here

We love from afar, dear Angel boy

.

Our broken hearts continue to beat

But each pulse send a piercing shard

Of the most intensely, crushing pain

Living with the pieces is so very hard

.

Missing you sweetheart

Love you forever

Becoming colder in St. Ives

More than words

Standard

Saturday 24th February

.

You may no longer breathe

But your presence is tangible

You’ll never leave my side

Just because you’re invisible

.

Sometimes the pain’s too much

So wish that you were here

Gazing at your photographs

Is a way to feel you near

.

Listening to your favourite songs

I smile when I recall

Your singing and a-shaking

Loudly giving it your all

.

Miss you more, not miss you less

At the dawn of each new day

Realising that you’ve gone

Love you more than words can say

.

Forever thirty

Taken too early

Angel son

Forever young

A chilly, but bright morning
