Thursday 18th January 

Your birthday's here 
There's an empty chair 
A void that whispers 
In the chill January air

Love for you resonates 
A timeless song 
In those memories 
Where echoes belong

In the gift of life 
And love's embrace
Finding solace 
Even in an empty space 

For birthdays hold 
Bittersweet times 
The love we carry 
Forever shines 

You should have been 
Thirty nine today 
What would you be like 
And what would you say? 

We miss you so much 
In our hearts forever 
Thinking of you often 
Forgetting you, never 

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

Love you so much 
Precious Angel son

Wednesday 17th January 

Calm and peaceful 
A serene space 
Trying to relax 
In this tranquil place  
Slow, deep breaths 
A rhythmic flow 
Wanting to chill  
And let the worries go 

Inhale the peace 
Exhale the strain 
A gentle dance 
With a quiet refrain 
In this moment 
Balance is an art 
A symphony of calm 
For the weary heart 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons

Tuesday 16th January 

A serene scene 
A tranquil delight 
Nature's canvas 
Bathed in liquid light 
The silvery sea 
A misty sight 
Across the fields 
Chilly and bright 

Love you so much

Monday 15th January 

Can't think 
Lost in a listless haze 
A bit of a nothing day 
A mind's malaise 
Don't know what to say 
Words elude 
In the silence 
A yearning mood 

Need a holiday 
A break, a retreat 
Where thoughts flow 
And worries deplete 
In the sun's embrace 
Or by the sea 
A respite 
From the day's monotony 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Sunday 14th January 

Time is fleeting 
A transitory space 
Making the days count 
In life's embrace 
Having no regrets 
In moments spun 
Living moment to moment 
Each day begun 

Grateful for the breaths 
That slowly unfold 
Reflecting on stories 
Both new and old 
Embracing opportunities 
In every guise 
Making amends 
Where compassion lies 

Looking for the positives 
As the shadows' dance 
A chance for growth 
Perhaps a second chance 
In the mosaic of days 
Woven and spent 
Live with purpose 
Each moment well-meant 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons

Saturday 13th January 

The journey unfolds 
Steps in the night 
A dance with mystery 
Beyond the light 
As the fog lifts 
Clarity unfolds 
In the refocus 
New tales are told 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Friday 12th January 

Stepping out 
Into the dark's embrace 
To the unknown 
A vast and silent space 
What will be found 
In shadows deep 
When the mist clears 
Secrets to keep? 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Thursday 11th January 

Waiting in the shadows 
With wistful air 
Uncertain paths 
Possibilities rare 
Unsure steps 
In the quiet unknown 
Opportunities whisper 
Seeds to be sown 

A dance with time 
In the realm of chance 
Uncertainty's drama 
A nuanced trance 
Yet within the peace 
Of tender charm 
Hope can bloom 
And not sound the alarm 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Wednesday 10th January 

Bitter, biting 
Brutally cold air 
Cerulean skies 
Crisp and bare 
Pinched cheeks 
Chilled they glow 
Cold toes dance 
On frost-kissed snow

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Tuesday 9th January 

It's cold, it's chilly 
In winter's grasp 
Sombre grey skies 
With a muted clasp 
Bare, brittle branches 
Stretch in silent call 
Hard ground beneath 
A frozen crawl 
Nature at a standstill 
In hibernation's hold 
A crisp, raw landscape 
That's stark and bold 

Love you so much 
Beloved sons 
Treasured Mum
