The path

Standard
Monday 18th November 

The path, winding
The road, rough
The spirit within
Strong enough
To weather storms
To rise above
Find the strength
Courage to love

Love you so much
Beloved sons
Treasured Mum

A rainy day

Golden leaves

Standard
Sunday 17th November 

Golden leaves
In the breeze
Dancing down
From ageing trees

Whispers soft
In autumn's glow
A fleeting beauty 
A gentle show

They twirl and spin 
A quiet song
As time moves swiftly
Carrying them along

Yet in their fall
There's something bright
A glimmer caught
In fading light

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Showers and sunshine

In the silence

Standard
Saturday 16th November 

In the silence 
I miss you quietly
A gentle ache
Hits defiantly

But your absence screams 
A deafening cry
A sound so loud
To pass me by

Yet stillness hums
With what’s not there
A heavy weight
A hollow stare

Each moment stretched
Each second long
The world off-key
Its rhythm wrong

Your echo lingers
Raw, unbowed
A silent love
That shouts so loud

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Low tide in the harbour

Rearranged

Standard
Friday 15th November 

I’m not the same
As I used to be
Time has carved
Its scars on me

Your absence lingers 
A quiet ache
A hollow space
No mask can fake

You’re not here
The world feels strange
Familiar sights
Now rearranged

Love you so much
Precious sons
Treasured Mum

Greys for days

Never to part

Standard
Thursday 14th November 

Memories
That I hold dear
Each one
A shining souvenir
Like precious gems
In my heart
A life we vowed
Never to part

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Grey and drizzly all day

A whisper

Standard
Wednesday 13th November 

A whisper in the dark of night
Soft, faint, yet full of might
Dancing on the edge of sound
A secret message sent all round

Cherishing every gentle word
For in its quiet voice is heard
The wisdom of the ages past
A truth that will forever last

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

A pretty morning

In the midst

Standard
Tuesday 22nd November 

In the midst
Of doubt and endless night
A flame burns
With unrelenting might
I find a spark
Within my weary soul
Urging me
To reach my final goal

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

If you were here

Standard
Monday 11th November 

If you were here
And still with me
Would laughter drift
As easily?

Would every sunrise
Feel more bright
Each moment wrapped
In gentle light?

In dreams, you stay
A shadowed gleam
A whisper woven
Through each scene

Though time moves on
This truth holds dear
I’d be whole
If you were here

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Calm and glassy sea

Laughter echoes

Standard
Sunday 10th November 

Laughter echoes
In an empty space
Places we dreamed
Now left erased

The words unsaid
The scenes unseen
Lives we lived
In might-have-been

Holding them close
For they are mine
Woven with love
A silent sign

For every memory
That's stripped bare
Is love that lingers
And always there

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Wispy clouds
A ring around the sun
A pretty morning

In the realm

Standard
Saturday 9th November 

In the realm
Where shadows reign supreme
There's a world
Of dismal hues and a sombre dream
The mist descends
A shroud of grey and gloom
Enveloping
The land in a mournful tune

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

High tide in the harbour
Grey November skies
