Tuesday 21st November 

No idea of the storms 
That internally brew 
The battles fought 
The struggles to construe 
It's a journey unique 
Known to a few 
The strength found within 
A voyage to push through  

Love you so much 
Treasured sons

Monday 20th November 

Silence descends 
A calm embrace 
Peaceful moments 
Chaos to erase 
Serene and soothing 
A gentle balm 
Softening jarring thoughts 
A healing calm 
Fears find solace 
In this quiet space 
A smile returns 
A familiar grace 
Tightness relaxes 
Unravels its hold 
The hush of tranquility 
Where gentleness is gold 

Love you so much

Sunday 19th November 

You can't explain what it's like, 
The depth 
Unless you've walked through it 
Felt every breath 
Unless you've lived it 
Faced the tide 
You just don't know 
When there's nowhere to hide 

Love you so much 
Precious sons

Saturday 18th November 

What's going on in my head? 
A winding maze 
A jumble of emotions 
In a swirling haze 

Sometimes dark, depressing 
They may be 
Other times lighter 
Filled with hope, carefree 

Running wild 
Thoughts can't be confined 
Veering off on their own 
Tangential and unlined 

In need of calm 
Deep breaths to release 
Seeking the sanctuary 
Where inner storms cease 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Friday 17th November 

Thoughts on a rainy day 
Dark and deep 
Afternoons draped 
In a dank, dreary sweep 
Wet and weary 
The world in a hush 
Raindrops paint 
A melancholy brush 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons

Thursday 16th November 

Sunshine rays 
Paint an autumn hue 
Long shadows dance 
Over wet grass dew
Branches bereft of leaves 
Stand in silent grace 
Damp underfoot 
Nature's embrace 
Fungi sprouting 
On mossy tree bark 
Nature's cycle 
Where life makes its mark 
A tapestry of moments 
Woven with wonders bright 
A canvas of movement 
Painted with delight 
Each thread a story 
A memory to hold 
In the grand design 
Where tales are told 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Wednesday 15th November 

A colonoscopy 
The cannula's in me 
A polypectomy 
Polyps, there are three 
Consultant came to see 
Because of difficulty 
Then in recovery 
With a cup of tea 
Will wait for histology 

Love you so much

Tuesday 14th November 

Anxiety persists  
Stress takes its toll 
Worry creeps in 
Breathing to control 
Colonoscopy awaits 
Midday tomorrow 
Apprehensive feelings 
Going to and fro 

Nervous thoughts 
Panic may entwine 
Yet put on a brave face 
Let resilience shine 
Unease and tension 
In the air they trace 
Tomorrow's journey 
With strength, to embrace 

Love you so much
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Monday 13th November 

Fighting the conventional 
A rebel's quest 
Going against the grain 
Putting norms to the test 
Swimming against a current 
Bold and free 
With maverick tendencies 
Embracing what could be 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Sunday 12th November 

A golden brown mournfulness 
In the autumn's song 
Melancholy whispers 
As darker days grow long 
Damp and dreary despondency 
Takes its toll 
Heavy, leaden skies 
With a promise to console 
The clinging drizzle 
A lingering refrain 
Days roll on lugubriously 
In a muted plane 
Yet, in the wistfulness 
A beauty does unfold 
An embroidery of emotions 
In this autumn's hold 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum
