Sunshine makes you smile

Standard
Sunday 17th March 

Sunshine makes you smile 
A radiant beam
Walking taller
In the sunlight's gleam
A spring in your step
As worries fade
Weight on your shoulders
Lessens the charade

Love you so much
Precious sons

Such a pretty day

Ricochet

Standard
Saturday 16th March 

Ricochet off setbacks
Like a resilient stone
In the journey of life
Where new paths are shown
With each bounce 
A lesson learned
In the depths of challenge
Growth is earned

The stone may stumble
Hopefully won't break
It gathers momentum
With each new shake
In the chaos of life
It finds its way
Carving out a path
In the light of day

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Still grey and gloomy

Trying

Standard
Friday 15th March 

Trying to climb back up
For sanity's sake
Change direction 
Different path to take

Look for opportunities
In the horizon's glow
Pivot, adjust 
With the ebb and flow

Swerve from the old
Alter the course
Veer towards the new 
With a trusting force

Whirl through challenges
With steadfast heart
Divert from the past
Make a start

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

A misty, wet day

The wind of sorrow blows

Standard
Thursday 14th March 

The wind of sorrow blows 
With a mournful sigh
Those soft tears fall 
Where clouds drift by
The overcast grief
Offers a solemn embrace
The outlook stays weary
In this detached place

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Dull and drizzly today

Never apart

Standard
Wednesday 13th March 

A sorrowful goodbye
It's true
That moment happened
Me and you
You're gone from sight
But not from heart
Memories entwined
Never apart

Love you so much

Remembering Frank

Standard
Tuesday 12th March 

Our darling Frank
We miss you so
Memories remain
Forever, I know
But cancer is
A hateful thief
Leaving behind
Relentless grief

Nine years have passed
Since we saw your face
Your mischievousness
Around the place
And though you're gone
You're never far
In our hearts
You're the guiding star

We miss you Frank
Each and every day
The fun and laughter
Those memories stay
No happy ever after
Just echoes of what was
So many moments
To remember because

We think of you often
In moments dear
Your presence missed
Your spirit near
In the tapestry of life
Where memories entwine
Your legacy lives on
In hearts that shine

Dearest darling
Angel son
You are now
Forever young
Wish you were here
Where you belong
Family together
With spirit strong

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

Love you so much
Darling Angel son

Without you

Standard
Monday 11th March 

Without you hurts 
A pain so deep
Each day dawns
After a fitful sleep
And still you're gone 
A chasm so wide
The sorrow is hidden
I know, I've tried
My heart remains broken
In pieces torn
In the quiet of night
Where tears are born

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

A bright day

Happy Mother’s Day

Standard
Sunday 10th March 

Happy Mother's Day
Dearest Mum
Love you so much
And then some

Missed every day
In so many ways
Memories recalled
Beneath the sun's gaze

In the passing of time
Your presence abides
In every smile
Where love resides

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

My lovely Mum
St Ives this morning
Lunch at the beach
Grey skies, but warm in our heated pod
Perfect views
Cloudy with blue, green seas

Misty murky

Standard
Saturday 9th March 

Misty murky
Melancholy malaise
Damp and dreary
Dark depression daze
Blurred and bleary
Bleakness betrays
Grim and gloomy
Grief's ghastly greys

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Hayle River at low tide

Why….

Standard
Friday 8th March 

Why did it happen?
The echoes resound
In silence of night
Shadows are found

Answers elude
Mysteries of fate
Leaving behind
An unyielding weight

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

A windy day
