Standing in the wind and rain Remembering an ancestor of mine The cemetery situated above the sea Waves crashing along the coastline
A cousin three times removed A brave soldier of the Great War Family to me across a century His resting place now cared for
The tireless work of a local historian The Commonwealth War Graves Commission With the restoration of his stone His service has full recognition
His story could have faded with time But now this soldier has his voice again His history has been brought back to life So generations will speak of him then
Remembered with the dignity That every soldier deserved Sapper William Hart of St Ives His memory forever preserved
A shared cup of kindness The comfort of home These fleeting embraces Where hearts freely roam In the rush of the days Just pause and reflect For small moments cherished Are those joys to connect
Golden sunlight Dancing on the ground so bright Emerald grasses Filling up the world with light Quiet moments A special treasure to always hold Stories written More precious than the rarest gold
The warmth of hands Lingering in a squeeze A quiet flutter Rustling through the trees Each little moment Held close and tight Weaving the fabric Of hearts’ delight
Love you so much Precious sons Treasured Mum xxxxx
As shadows grow longer And daylight does wane Lazy moments linger A comfy refrain Stars start to twinkle In the deepening blue On this Sunday evening Hearts beat anew
The Journey of My Left Foot (whilst remembering my son)
