Sunday 26th October 

Letting time flow 
Like the river that bends 
In the company of nature 
And dear, lifelong friends 
For today is a gift 
With all that it brings 
A slow Sunday morning 
Where joy softly sings 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Saturday 25th October 

Believing in tomorrow 
A brighter embrace 
Faith as the compass 
Finding your place 
Lifting voices high 
Letting the world hear 
In bravery’s echo 
Dispelling every fear 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Friday 24th October 

The cold wind whispers 
Leaves turning brown 
As nature slumbers 
Day ends with a frown 

The sky weeps softly 
A melancholy grey 
A damp atmosphere  
Seems here to stay 

Love you so much 
Precious sons

Thursday 23rd October 

The bloom fades fast 
The glow departs 
As humdrum tasks 
Reclaim our hearts 

No longer basking 
In the sun's bright ray 
Just shopping lists 
To face the day

Suitcases unpacked 
Clothes on the floor 
Washing machine 
Starts to roar 

The heat subsides 
A cooler breeze 
Grey skies return 
Through rustling trees

No cocktails sweet 
No ocean feast 
Back to normal 
For a while, at least 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Wednesday 22nd October 

Early, early morning 
The alarm cries out 
Three thirty ticks by 
Night whispers about 

Airport before five 
The sky starts to glow 
Dreams of holidays  
Just a heartbeat ago 

As the engines roar 
The plane lifts high 
Across the clouds 
It starts to fly 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Tuesday 21st October 

And it's a slow farewell 
To a wonderful summer's spell 

Lingering warmth of sun on soft skin 
Memories made from deep within 

Golden days now start to fade 
As autumn colours are displayed  

Gentle breezes whisper low 
Where summer's vibrant flowers grow 

Sweet fragrance lingers in the air 
A final moment beyond compare 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Monday 20th October 

Twenty eight degrees 
A little warm breeze 
I'll take that,yes please 
Watching sparkling seas 
Those worries to ease 
And the days to seize  

Love you so much

Sunday 19th October 

Golfing range beckons 
Green and wide 
A peaceful space 
Where worries hide 

The rhythmic swing 
A gentle grace 
A smile appears 
Upon the face 

The ball takes flight 
A soaring dream 
Beside the putting 
Surface green 

Relaxing thoughts 
Begin to flow 
Watching lazy 
Welcome breezes go 

No pressure here 
Just simple fun 
Beneath the warm 
And golden sun 

A perfect end 
To day's sweet song 
Where I truly feel 
That I belong 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Saturday 18th October 

Lagos sun rises warm and gold 
Marina craft bobbing new and old
Burgau beach, a tranquil scene 
Worries fade, life is serene 

Guia calls, a gentle hum 
The piri piri aromas succumb 
Chicken sizzles, spice takes hold 
A taste of Portugal, brave and bold 

From bustling streets to ocean breeze 
A journey travelled with such ease 
Sleepy Guia, a welcome sight
Filled with flavours, warm and bright 

Memories linger, sweet and clear 
Of Lagos, Burgau, holding dear 
The piri piri's fiery kiss 
Portugal's charm, just can't resist 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Friday 17th October 

Engines roar like thunder 
Slicing through the air 
At Autódromo Internacional 
The thrill's beyond compare 

Wheels spin and tires screech 
A dance upon the track 
With every lap they race 
There’s no time to look back 

So many twists and turns 
There's no room to spare 
As the adrenaline flows 
Screaming through the air 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Treasured Mum
