Then

Standard
Monday 1st July 

Then the dawn breaks 
A brand new start
Then hope awakes
In every heart

Then the shadows lift
And light pours in
Then we find courage
So deep within

Then the past
Becomes a distant shore
Then we step forward
Seeking more

Then dreams once hidden
Take to flight
Then we embrace
The endless night

Love you so much
Precious sons
Treasured Mum

A grey start to July…… Where has the sun gone???

When

Standard
Sunday 30th June 

When the sun dips low
And stars appear
When the world is hushed
And dreams draw near
When the heart is full
And filled with care
When we seek peace
Or moments to share

When the rain falls soft
Or storms rage on
When we find our strength
Or feel withdrawn
When the questions rise
And answers flee
When we embrace what is
That what will be will be

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

St Ives this morning
A busy harbour

So…..

Standard
Saturday 29th June 

So, as we venture
Into the unknown
With every step
Ideas are sown

So, as we dream
And chase the light
Through darkest days
And starry night

So, as we love
And sometimes lose
Finding strength
In paths we choose

So, as we live
In joy and woe
A story's written
And onward we go

Love you so much
Cloudy again….

And

Standard
Friday 28th June 

And in the stillness
Whispers rise
Soft and gentle
Through the skies

And in the moments
Quiet and small
Finding answers
To life's call

And in the journey
Step by step
Through the shadows
Secrets kept

And in the end
Finally to see
Life's greatest truths
Can simply be

Love you so much
Treasured sons

Dull and grey
Heavy clouds passing by

End of the day

Standard
Thursday 27th June 

At the very end of the day
When light fades to cool grey
Moments slow, calm does descend
Time for reflection, thoughts to mend

The hum abates, the noise retreats
In the dusk, a quieting heart beats
Peace and twilight finally embrace
At the end of the day, we find our place

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Some sunshine and a few showers

No need to race

Standard
Wednesday 26th June 

No need to race
For what is meant
Will be here on time
It's always present

Trust the flow
In life's embrace
A tuneful rhythm
A steady pace

Destined paths
Unseen design
What will be 
Can always shine

Love you so much
Beloved sons

Foggy, misty, cloudy, overcast…. You can’t see the top of the Island
Hazy in Hayle too

On the surface

Standard
Tuesday 25th June 

On the surface
All appears fine
Carefully concealed
All's tangled, entwine

Beneath the calm
A hidden mess
Secrets kept
In silent stress

Outward smiles
Inward strife
A fragile balance
Within this life

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Another grey day….. Where’s the sunshine?
The roses are blooming
In the garden
Antirhinnums too

Wandering around the town

Standard
Monday 24th June 

Wandering around the town
Dodging the holidaymakers
Streets alive with a vibrant sound
Watching the picture takers

Hidden corners, quiet nooks
Escape the crowd, find solace there
Amidst the bustle, tranquil looks 
A moment's peace, a breath of air 

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Some blue skies this morning
Grey on Porthmeor this afternoon
Low tide in the harbour
A few on the beach

So there we are

Standard
Sunday 23rd June 

So there we are
And there we go
What will be
Just don't know

Future's unclear
A winding road
Unseen twists
A heavy load

Yet on the way
Hope can grow
For every step
The path may show

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Cloudy and a bit drizzly

I wonder

Standard
Saturday 22nd June 

I wonder why
I wonder who
I wonder when
I wonder if

Questions linger
Thoughts take flight
In the silence
Throughout the night

Curiosity's spark
A restless quest
Seeking answers
And finding rest

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

A pretty morning
A corner of St Ives
The Wharf, with the Coastguard Station above
Blue skies for a while
The top of the Parish Church
