Somnolent Sunday

Standard
Sunday 6th April 

Somnolent Sunday
Quite warm outside
The world moves slow
Like a river's glide

Sunlight spills gently
Through the open door
While shadows dance
Lightly across the floor

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Full bloom

Standard
Saturday 5th April 

The sun
Kisses flowers to full bloom
Banishing
Corners filled with gloom
Coaxing
Seedlings from the ground
Making
Diamonds of dust all around

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Golden rays

Standard
Friday 4th April 

Golden rays reach 
Across the morning sky
Dancing on dewdrops
Where they lie
Warming the earth
With a gentle touch
A promising day
That holds so much

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

The flower peeks

Standard
Wednesday 2nd April 

The flower peeks 
A hint of gold
Long-winded stories
Of the year unfold
With every breeze
The promise clear
Of vibrant blooms
To soon appear

The days will lengthen
The sun will rise
With colours painted
In the skies
Waiting patiently
Heart alight
For spring to break
The lingering night

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

The First of April

Standard
Tuesday 1st April 

The first of April
Time for awareness
Lumps, bumps and swellings
Do not feel helpless

Testicular cancer
Need to check your balls
Don't be embarrassed
Heed the doctor's calls

Teens to the thirties
Are mostly affected
Do yourself a favour
Shouldn't be neglected

Don't leave it too late
For it can be cured
If it's caught early
You can rest assured

A taboo subject
Whispered quietly
Can't happen to me
Can fill with anxiety

Grab life by the goolies
But if there's a pain
Have your tackle checked out
Your health to maintain

Sweet Angel son
Love you forever
Forget you never

Ducks and swans

Standard




Monday 31st March 

Ducks and swans
At Wareham Quay
Sunny Dorset days
For you and me
Beneath blue skies
A glass of Chablis
With springtime smiles
Just so carefree

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Mother’s Day

Standard
Sunday 30th March 

Mother's Day without you here
Holds both sweetness and a tear
Of longing for a smile, your touch
The warmth I've always loved so much

Heaven holds you in its care
While I feel you everywhere
In morning light, an evening star
In quiet moments near and far

Though arms can't reach across this space
Love remains in every place
You've touched my heart, you've shaped my way
Thinking of you this Mother's Day

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum
