Thursday 6th April 

I think of all the mysteries  
That the night sky holds 
Of all the secrets waiting 
As the future unfolds 
And slowly my worries 
They begin to fade away 
As I'm filled with wonder  
At the beauty of the day 

Love you so much 
Beloved sons

Wednesday 5th April 

A life lost 
Is a song cut short 
A melody 
Left hanging in the air 

A dance 
With no final step 
A rhythm disrupted 
With a soul laid bare 

A fairytale 
Without an ending 
Trip of a lifetime 
On a train to nowhere 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Tuesday 4th April 

The sea's breaking waves 
A mighty roar 
Remind me of the times 
We spent on the shore 
Laughing and playing 
So carefree 
Those moments with you 
Mean the world to me 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Monday 3rd April 

So many memories 
Held so dear 
Reminds me of the love 
That's always near 
And though you're gone 
You're still a part 
Of my life and soul 
Forever in my heart 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Sunday 2nd April 

Grief's journey changes 
As it often will 
Let it ebb and flow 
And have its fill 
For in the end 
It's a sign we cared 
That love, even in loss 
Can never be impaired 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Saturday 1st April

The first of April 
Time for awareness 
Lumps, bumps and swellings 
Do not feel helpless 

Testicular cancer 
Need to check your balls 
Don’t be embarrassed 
Heed the doctor’s calls 

Teens to the thirties 
Are mostly affected 
Do yourself a favour 
Shouldn’t be neglected 

Don’t leave it too late 
For it can be cured 
If it’s caught early 
You can rest assured 

A taboo subject 
Whispered quietly 
Can’t happen to me 
Can fill with anxiety 

Grab life by the goolies 
But if there’s a pain 
Have your tackle checked out 
Your health to maintain 

Love you sweetheart 
Treasured Angel son 
Now forever young

Friday 31st March 

Your absence is felt 
Every single day 
In each moment 
Every single way 
But there's some comfort 
Knowing you're free 
Watching over us  
With wings, silvery 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Thursday 30th March 

All those little things 
That remind me of you 
Bringing back memories 
So sweet and true 
The wind as it whispers 
With a gentle touch 
Echoes of your voice 
That I miss so much 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Wednesday 29th March 

So wander and wonder 
My sweet one 
Fly above the clouds 
Enjoy, have fun 
And know that I love you 
More than words can say 
Holding you in my heart 
Every single day 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

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
