Ring around the sun

Standard
Thursday 5th May 

Ring around the sun
Is rain on the way?
A solar halo
But it's warm today

Love you both so much
Precious sons

St Ives harbour this morning
Solar halo
Looking down on Porthmeor Beach
A few surfers in the waves

Looking back

Standard
Wednesday 4th May 

Looking back
Is fine with me
I won't get stuck
You're now set free
But I can hold
Your memory
All those pages
A treasury

Love you both so much
Treasured sons

Starting again

Standard
Tuesday 3rd May 

Starting again
Every morning
Breathing slowly
Face adorning
With gentle smiles
No conforming
To what must be
Little warning
When I lost you
Still, I'm calling

Love you both so much
Forever and always
Treasured sons

Walkers on the Island
Lifeguard training
Dull, and quiet on Porthmeor Beach

Nine years ago

Standard
Monday 2nd May

Nine years ago today......
Thursday 2nd May 2013
Surgery on dodgy looking mole
On my left foot
On the fourth toe
Melanoma
Stage 3c

.

The mole on my toe
Just started to grow
And I did not know
It would change me so

Melanoma, Ohh!
Spreading to and fro
Lymph nodes, tallyho
Recovery, slow

No more suntan glow
Seek shade, way to go
Fight for tomorrow
Challenge this foe

Love you both so much
Always and forever
Precious sons

A Facebook memory popped up
Porthmeor Beach
Low tide in the harbour
The sea slowly creeping over the sand
It’s a bit cloudy over Hayle Towans
Little wind today
So very clear
A pretty afternoon
Sunny Bank Holiday

Breathe

Standard
Saturday 30th April 

Breathe
And slow down

View
Just don't frown

Dwell
Look around

Rest
Fix the crown

Calm
Gentle sound

Life
Plans unbound

Love you both so much
Always and forever
Precious sons

Observing

Standard
Friday 29th April 

Observing surroundings
Watchful and vigilant
Ready to steal ice creams
Unaware participant
He has his eye on you
Seemingly innocent
Swooping silently
Behaviour's insolent

Love you both so much
Precious sons

Shades of blue
Porthmeor Beach
It’s only 12°C in the water!
A small wave
The stones have appeared on the beach
The harbour this afternoon
A quiet place to sit along the Wharf
The James Stevens No 10 lifeboat
Harbour Beach and slipway
I’ve got my eye on you…

Reasons

Standard
Thursday 28th April 

I'm looking for reasons
To chase away demons
Then balance, we're evens
In those changing seasons

Love you both so much
Forever and always

Our legacies

Standard
Wednesday 27th April 

So, yesterday is over
But there's many memories
Filling up my heart and mind
They're special accessories
I do collect them avidly
Like colourful tapestries
Catalogued so carefully
I'm keeping our legacies

Love you both so much
Forever and always
My darling sons

Cobbled stone

Standard
Monday 25th April 

Those narrow streets
Of cobbled stone
For centuries
Travellers unknown
Have walked upon
Where winds have blown
Pirates, smugglers
Their secrets flown

Love you both so much
Precious sons

A quiet and sheltered Porthmeor Beach
Sunshine and shadows
Smooth seas
Between Porthmeor and the harbour, the cobbled Digey
A pretty harbour this afternoon
High tide
The restored James Stevens No 10 lifeboat
