In the quiet

Standard
Thursday 13th November 

In the quiet
Of morning light
A cup of tea
Warm and bright
The steam curls up 
A gentle dance
In that moment
A calming trance
A leaf that twirls
Upon the breeze
Rustling whispers
Through the trees
Each tiny moment
Like a song
Holds memories
Where we belong

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Standing in the wind and rain

Standard
Tuesday 11th November 

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

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Quiet

Standard
Monday 10th November 

Sitting with the quiet
Heart serene and slow
A gentle peace
Where breezes blow

Walking along silence 
A path so clear
No worldly echoes
Reaching to the ear

Moving with stillness 
A tranquil art
This calming presence 
A brand new start

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

A shared cup of kindness

Standard
Sunday 9th November 

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

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Golden sunlight

Standard
Saturday 8th November 

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

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Comfort

Standard
Friday 7th November 

Comfort like whispers
Soft as a flowing stream
Lulling the weary
Into the sweetest dream

Peace like a soft sigh
Filling the noiseless room
Chasing away shadows
Dissolving all that gloom

Love you so much
Precious sons
Treasured Mum

The warmth of hands

Standard
Thursday 6th November 

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

The smile of a stranger

Standard
Wednesday 5th November 

The smile of a stranger 
A helping hand
A kindred spirit
In this uncertain land

The warmth of a blanket
When nights grow cold
These small things
We dearly love to hold

So take a pause
On those busy days
Finding beauty
In simple ways

In these moments
Life’s magic clings
So grateful for
The precious things

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum
