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

Saturday 25th January 

Blue skies stretch wide 
A canvas of crisp clarity 
Chilly wind whispers 
Through bare branches of January 

Each gust carries 
The promise of renewal 
The silent hush of winter 
Embracing the world to refuel  

Yet beneath the chill 
Life stirs, waiting 
For the sun's gentle nudge 
To awaken and start creating  

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Friday 24th January 

Along the path of life 
Shadows and light entwine 
Seeking alignment 
A sacred line 

Resistance, a force 
Stubborn and strong 
Pushing back 
Where we feel we belong 

Then there's the art 
Of releasing, letting go 
Of all that binds 
Fears we've come to know 

Open, we stand 
Ready to receive 
All of life's gifts 
Love, lessons, belief 

With gentle hands 
Starting to remove 
Barriers to the heart 
Beginning to improve 

The journey continues 
Healing, a soothing balm 
Mending the spirits 
A restorative calm 

Starting to imprint 
Marks on the world 
With every step 
Stories unfurled 

And then creating 
In each moment anew 
Shaping lives 
With visions true 

For future goals 
Setting one's sight 
With hope, with love 
With all one's might 

Love you so much 
Beloved sons 
Treasured Mum

Thursday 23rd January 

Dancing amongst 
The stars above 
A cosmic ballet 
Of light and love 
Free from chains 
Of earthly care 
A slumber where 
None can compare 
All those colours 
Vibrant and alive 
Painted by hands 
Set to thrive 
Surreal landscape 
Of wonder so raw 
Filled with a sense 
Of peace and awe 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Treasured Mum

Wednesday 22nd January 

It's grey outside 
A ceiling of clouds 
Heavy and low 
World in shrouds 

It's becoming cold 
Air bites with chill 
A whisper of winter 
Snow on silent hill 

It's going to rain 
The sky does warn 
A cacophony of drops 
From dusk till morn 

So wrap up warm 
Embrace the gloom 
For in this grey 
There's a quiet room 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Treasured Mum

Tuesday 21st January 

I wander lost 
Unsure of where to go 
The path ahead seems dark 
The light a faint glow 
In life's vast maze 
Where shadows dance and play 
I've come to understand 
I must find my own way 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Monday 20th January 

A weightless dreamscape 
Finding myself adrift 
Lost in ethereal realms 
The mind does sift 

Through misty depths 
Of subconscious cloud 
Transcending into a world 
Of illusions loud 

Floating through layers 
In a state sublime 
Time has no meaning 
Where space does chime 

Whispers of the wind 
Roaring, soaring high 
Above worries of the world 
Where one can fly 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Sunday 19th January 

Through the window 
The breeze does sigh 
Carrying tales 
Of the day gone by 
Leaves rustle 
In a gentle plea 
To join the night 
In its symphony 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Saturday 18th January 

You’d be forty today 
But thirty you remain 
Your presence echoes  
A sweet, gentle pain 

In your struggle 
You wore a brave disguise 
With courage strong 
Reflected in your eyes 

Huddled in chairs 
Loved ones drew near 
With tear-streaked faces 
Battling their fear 

Yet amidst the hope 
Shadows loomed wide 
With every heartbeat 
You fought back the tide 

Chemotherapy’s grasp 
A nemesis bold 
Stripped away strands 
Of the dreams you told 

Ten years now passed 
The seasons do turn 
Ten years uncounted 
Our hearts ever yearn 

Heaven, your haven 
With wings spread free 
We cherish your life 
Immortal absentee 

Though a decade has passed 
Your memory survives 
Remembering your exploits 
That's the way love thrives 

You reign gently above 
Where the heavens glow 
Forever remembered 
Where love's rivers flow 

Happy heavenly birthday 
Darling Frank to you 
Remembered forever 
Missed so much too 

No matter how long 
As memories replay 
It will always feel 
Like yesterday 

Love you so much 
Precious Angel son 
Gone to soon 
Now forever young
