Reflecting

Standard
Thursday 3rd March 

Reflecting
On reflections

Remembering
The memories

Questioning
The questions

Seeing something
No one sees

And thinking
Positive thoughts

By story-telling
These stories

Love you both so much
Treasured sons

A blustery Porthmeor Beach
A few walkers around
The Chapel on the Island
Low tide in the harbour
Grey skies over Kitty’s Corner

Trying to see the light

Standard
Wednesday 2nd March 

Trying to see the light
Despite the surrounding dark
Suffocated by shadows
Which have surely left their mark

Hidden from the universe
Sheltered from the passing storm
Just quietly observing
Warmth in the arising dawn

Love you both so much
Precious sons

A lazy Sunday lunch
A splendid roast dinner
In a local restaurant
Really was a winner

Love you both so much
Beloved sons

Tidy waves on Porthmeor
Quite a few surfers enjoying the swell
Lovely blue skies
Man’s Head
Towards the Island
Half term is coming to an end

It

Standard
Saturday 26th February 

Going through it.....
You have to
You must
There is no choice

Getting over it.....
No chance
Not ever
Just carry it

Love you both so much

Halfway

Standard
Thursday 24th February 

Halfway between
You and me
Grief and love
Gone, yet set free
Near, but far
That's reality
But in my heart
You'll safely be

Love you both so much
Treasured sons

Time

Standard
Wednesday 23rd February 

Time flies
And yet, stands still
Frozen
Or moving on, at will
Passing by
As on a treadmill
Can't stop
This racing downhill

Love you both so much
Beloved sons

St Ives this morning

Luncheon

Such a fabulous luncheon
Local hospital fundraiser
Serving spectacular courses
With flourish by the waiter

Beloved sons
