Wednesday 18th December 

Sadly, silently missing you 
Whilst grief screams out loud 
Putting on a happy demeanour 
Not wanting to upset the crowd 

The heart holds a silent vigil 
For the ones no longer here 
A smile masks the deepest sorrow 
Yet inside, there should be cheer 

The world moves on, so unaware 
Of the weight that's carried deep 
A cheerful face to hide the pain 
As memories soundlessly weep 

But in the quiet of the night 
When solitude becomes a friend 
The mask comes off, the tears can flow 
For the love that will never end  

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Tuesday 17th December 

Letting my mind drift 
Like a feather on the breeze 
Musing on the beauty 
Of life's mysteries 

Just contemplating 
The meaning of existence 
And the importance 
Of persistence 

Mulling over choices 
Made back in time 
The roads I've taken 
Obstacles to climb 

Reflecting quietly 
On lessons learned 
And tackling obstacles 
With confidence earned 

Love you so much 
Beloved sons 
Treasured Mum

Monday 16th December 

In the midst 
Of laughter and song 
Lies a heartache 
That lingers long 
A reminder of 
The ones we've lost 
Whose absence comes 
At such a cost 

And betwixt 
The merriment and cheer 
Lies a shadow 
A silent tear 
For those we miss 
Along the way 
Whose absence 
Haunts us every day 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Sunday 25th December 

The gentle rustle of leaves
Whisper in my ear 
As I manifest my dreams 
Without any fear 
Envisioning a time 
Where kindness rules 
And love and compassion 
Are the only tools 
As the moon rises high 
In the night sky 
Trying to release my worries 
With a contented sigh 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Saturday 14th December 

As the world around  
Revels in season's cheer 
I'll keep your memory close 
And shed a solitary tear 
At this time of festivities 
When all should be such fun 
I find myself missing you 
My dearest, darling angel son 

Love you so much 
Angel son

Friday 13th December 

In a tranquil enclave 
Under a canopy of stars 
Sitting in silence 
Seeking to mend these scars 
Closing my eyes 
Letting the mind wander 
Meditating on the path 
That's just over yonder 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Thursday 12th December 

Longing for your voice 
Your laughter, your smile 
But all that I hear 
Is emptiness all the while 
Memories of our family 
They haunt my mind 
It was a love so pure 
Why was fate so unkind? 

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Wednesday 11th December 

Cherishing 
Every whispered word 
Listening 
Its quiet voice is heard 
The wisdom 
Of the ages past 
The love 
That will forever last 

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Tuesday 10th December 

Weightlessness 
In a realm of delight  
Adrift in a dream 
Ethereal and bright 
Where the mind transcends 
The earthly bounds 
Subconscious landscapes 
Where the soul rebounds 

Drifting through lands 
Where the senses blend 
Elysian panoramas 
Where thoughts ascend 
Innermost whispers 
A symphony in the mind 
Weightlessness 
A place to be redefined 

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Monday 9th December 

Closing my eyes 
Trying to flee 
Your absence follows 
Gently chasing me 
I miss you quietly 
But the pain is loud 
A heart shattered 
Lost in the crowd 

Love you so much
Beloved sons
Treasured Mum
