I know you’re not gone

Standard
Tuesday 28th March 

I know you're not gone
Just out of sight
Your spirit lives on
In the stars at night
Though my heart aches
With each passing day
There's comfort in knowing
You're just a thought away

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Cloudy, grey, damp and drizzly today

Family

Standard
Monday 27th March 

Smiling and carrying
On with grace
Even when tears
Stream down my face
For though the pain
May never fade
Finding strength
In the family we made

Love you so much

Sunny St Ives this morning

Where you wander

Standard
Sunday 26th March 

Pain and heartache
Still remain
A burden I can't
Really explain
Locked away
Hidden from view
Surfacing with
A memory of you

The sunshine warms
My face and soul
Bringing happiness
Making me whole
Yet deep inside
I still wonder
What you're doing
Where you wander

Love you so much

Each and every day

Standard
Saturday 25th March 

The weight of the world
Begins to lift
And the heart begins
To slowly sift
Through broken pieces
And all the pain
Valiantly hoping that
Calm comes again

So even though
The road may be long
The journey filled
With doubts so strong
I know that I will
Soon find my way
And hope will guide me
Each and every day

Love you so much
Beloved sons

Muddling along

Standard
Thursday 23rd March 

Muddling along
Stumble and stray
The way ahead hidden
By mist and grey
The horizon elusive
Out of sight
Anxiety gripping
Throughout the night

Yet I'll shuffle along
One step at a time
With faith and hope
As my guiding climb
And though the route
May not be clear
I'll find my way
Without fear

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Sunny, but very windy this morning

Promise

Standard
Thursday 23rd March 

And as I strive
To push ahead
To rise above
The fear and dread
I know that even
The darkest night
There's the promise
Of morning light

Love you so much

Finding comfort

Standard
Wednesday 22nd March 

Finding comfort in a silent room
Where thoughts can wander aimlessly
A place where I can let go of gloom
Embracing emotional tranquility

Love you so much

A mask

Standard
Tuesday 21st March 

Trying to hide stress and anxiety
Wearing a mask, that's all you'll see
Quite difficult sharing any fears
Keeping them to myself, with tears

I'll put on a smile, and act okay
Pretend everything's fine, every day
But deep down, I'm struggling inside
My doubts and worries, I try to hide

I know I can't keep this up forever
One day, I'll need help to pull me together
Until then, I'll keep wearing this mask
Hoping that one day, my worries will pass

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Driving home from Dorset today
A lovely spring day
The journey took just over four hours
And not much traffic

Always there

Standard
Saturday 19th March 

Mum, I wish that I could hold your hand
And tell you all the things I've planned
To thank you for the love you gave
And all the sacrifices you made

For though you're gone, you're still with me
In every breath, in every memory
And in the love that we still share
I know you're always, always there

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum
