Tuesday 4th February 

Hank, today you’d be ninety-three 
But sixteen years been flying free 
Many memories; you linger near 
A bond untouched by month or year 

Days pass, the seasons change 
With happy smiles and laughs 
Adventures remembered 
Forever treasured in photographs 

.

Happy heavenly birthday Hank 
4.2.1932 - 5.10.2009
Into the Wild Blue Yonder 
Miss you, and all our adventures

Sunday 2nd February 

Sunday dawns 
Skies quite grey 
Gloomy weather 
Here to stay 
Yet indoors 
Warmth does rise 
Roast dinner 
Comforting prize 

Warm aroma 
It will spread 
Through the house 
Waiting to be fed 
A sense of comfort 
Delight and cheer 
Dispelling gloom 
Drawing all near 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Saturday 1st February 

Slow down, those thoughts 
Let the world's noise fade 
Listen to the silence 
Whispers of peace conveyed 

Focusing on stillness 
Time itself seems to rest 
No movement, just being 
In the moment, truly blessed 

Breathing in the calm 
Exhale all that stirs within 
In the quietude, find 
A serene place to begin 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Friday 31st January 

Within 
This heavenly scene 
It is 
But a fleeting dream 
I awaken 
The world will fade 
Leaving just 
Memories I've made 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Treasured Mum

Thursday 30th January 

If I could 
I would 
Reach across the void 
But I can't 
The distance is too great 
You're not here 
Where you should be 
In this space 
Beside me 
Yet, your absence 
Fills the room 
Like a silent 
Echoing tune 

If I could 
I would 
Weave words into time 
But I can't 
The moments slip by 
You're not here 
But your spirit 
Lingers 
In each breath 
In every sigh 

If I could 
I would 
Make the world pause 
But I can't 
Life moves relentlessly on 
You're not here 
Yet you are 
Everywhere 
A presence 
A memory 
A beautiful song 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Wednesday 29th January 

In the depths of silence 
Finding solace knowing 
Our bond transcends 
Boundaries of time and space 

In the darkest of nights 
Your spirit lingers 
Illuminating the path 
Back to your embrace 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Tuesday 28th January 

Gales blow fierce 
Across the sea 
Rain hits 
With unrelenting glee 

Waves crash 
Upon rugged shore 
Clouds dash 
Shadows racing before 

The ocean roars 
Its voice untamed 
The storm's hold 
Power sustained 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Monday 27th January 

The silence cries 
Tears falling from eyes 
Like rain from grey skies 

In the quiet I hear 
The echo of each tear 
A whisper of fear 

A mourning so deep 
Even stillness does weep 
And secrets keep 

Each drop a story old 
Of love, of loss, untold 
In the silence, cold 

The world in hush does lie 
Beneath the weeping sky 
And silence does cry 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Sunday 26th January 

In the silence 
I find myself adrift 
A ship without a compass 
Blowing on spindrift 

Searching for shores 
Of your presence 
A haven of your love 
Your total essence 

As days stretch on 
Each one a testament 
To your absence 
Lost in the sentiment 

A constant reminder 
Of the void 
That now consumes 
Nearly destroyed 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum
