Waves

Standard
Sunday 13th March 

Waves rolling in
Trying not to drown
Head above water
Current drags down
Fix on a smile
Just like a clown
Battling through
Adjust that crown

Love you both so much
Precious sons

Porthmeor Beach to the Island
Quite a few surfers enjoying the swell
Bright and breezy
Not too many people on the beach
Calm in the harbour
Busy on the slipway

Seven long years

Standard
Saturday 12th March 

Seven long years
So many tears
We didn't know
You had to go
Falling asleep
We couldn't keep
You here with us
Without a fuss
You slipped away
Heartbreaking day
Our Frankie Boy
Brought so much joy
Cancer's a thief
It just brings grief
The pain's no more
Of that we're sure
We think of you
We always do
Flying so high
Up in the sky
And sending love
To you above

My darling Angel son
Now forever young

Existing

Standard
Thursday 10th March 

Existing in the substrata
Always there
Just under the surface
I know where
An unconscious state
That we share
Beyond the obvious
Love so rare

Love you both so much
Precious sons

Down this road of travel

Standard
Wednesday 9th March 

Down this road of travel
Lined upon either side
Are so many memories
From my eyes, they can't hide

They brighten up the journey
As I move far and wide
A constant companion
Like a comforting guide

Keeping me safe and sound
But the days when I've cried
I simply glance around
And the tears are soon dried

Those memories follow me
Such love they provide
Warming my heart and soul
As recollections collide

Love you both so much
Beloved sons

Dorset driving

Standard
Monday 7th March 

Dorset driving
Down to the coast
Swans and pheasants
To the sea, almost
Abbotsbury and Chesil
A breezy outpost

Love you both so much
Treasured sons

An elegant swan
Enjoying the pond
Beautiful day
The Swannery itself was closed, but we spied these on the water
Abbotsbury Children’s Farm buildings
Farm buildings and Abbotsbury Abbey
St Catherine’s Chapel
A regal looking cock pheasant
Wandering along the roadside
Chesil Bank
A massive bank of pebbles
Looking westward
A painted sea
We didn’t scrabble down to the sea…. I don’t think I would have managed to get back up again!
Tall trees lining the road

And off we go

Standard
Sunday 6th March 

And off we go
To Dorset again
Visiting family
Blue sky, no rain
An easy journey
In the fast lane

Love you both so much
Precious sons

Just past Honiton
On the way to Dorset
A daffodil lined road

The love

Standard
Saturday 5th March 

The love
Lives on
Forever

Wrapped
In memories
Together

Playing
On repeat
Whenever

Your spirit
And sparkle
A treasure

You gave
To us
Such pleasure

Forgotten....
Never
Ever

Love you both so much
My darling sons

Despite

Standard
Friday 4th March 

Despite the chaos and confusion
Of everything that happened
Despite the thunderstorm overhead 
My heart is surely gladdened
That you were a part of our lives
Yet sometimes we are saddened
Clinging on to all those memories 
You gave us more than we imagined 

Love you both so much
Beloved sons
