So sunny

Standard
Wednesday 7th January 

So sunny and bright today
A gentle, warm display

So peaceful is the air
Without a single care

So calm the gentle breeze
Whispering in the trees

Relaxing takes its hold
With a story to unfold

Recharging starts within
Where quiet joys begin

Rejuvenating flows
As sweet contentment grows

Breathe deeply in the light
And hold the feeling tight

Sunshine on my face
A moment filled with grace

Grateful for this peace
May all my worries cease

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Bright blue

Standard
Tuesday 6th January 

Bright blue
Stretches wide and deep
Gentle skies
The morning does keep

The sun ascends
With golden grace
Sweeping shadows
From this place

The vastness calls
The heart to roam
A quiet, azure 
And peaceful home

A perfect day
Unfolds anew
Beneath the boundless
Brilliant hue

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

The rain in Spain

Standard
Sunday 4th January 

The rain in Spain
Is quite a pain
We'd like the sunshine
To be back again

Puddles remain
Overflowing drain
Leaving behind
Flooded terrain

Red warnings proclaim
Mustn't complain
Just stay indoors
Safety to maintain

Love you so much
Treasured sons

A little drizzle

Standard
Saturday 3rd January 

A little drizzle
On the street
Each drop a song
A gentle beat

Soft whispers
From clouds above
Wraps the world
In silver love

Wet pavements
Glisten in the light
Each step taken
Puddles of delight

Reflecting dreams
Of skies so grey
In the coolness
Ending the day

Love you so much
Precious sons

Fuengirola

Benalmádena

Standard
Friday 2nd January 

Yachts sway gently
Masts held high
Seagulls dance
Beneath a muted sky

Boats lined up
Row upon row
Watching currents
Ebb and flow

Love you so much
Beloved sons

This New Year’s Day

Standard
Thursday 1st January 

This New Year's Day
Turned out quite grey
But hope whispers softly
Calling the sun to play

And through the gloom 
A promise breaks free
The world starts to stir
Straining to see

The rain won't linger
It must find its way
Leaving behind a canvas
With which to play

With every drop falling
A chance to renew
A fresh start awaits
That'll see us through

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

The last day of the year

Standard
Wednesday 31st December 

The last day of the year
Leisurely roaming along
The busy waterfront
The sun's rays quite strong
Parrots darting about
With a raucous birdsong

Waves lap gently at the shore
As children play on the sand
Echoes of joy, a sweet encore
Moments held within the hand
Dreams of future help us cope 
Twilight moves over the land 

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

The sun spills gold

Standard
Monday 29th December 

The sun spills gold
Upon the air
A gentle warmth
Beyond compare

The harbour wakes
In light so bright
The water sparkles
Blue and white

Finding a spot
Near tethered boats
Catching every breeze
That gently floats

Those distant gulls
Begin to cry
Beneath the vast
Bright blue sky

The hour does feel
Perfectly designed
To ease the worries
Of the mind

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum
