I’ll never get over losing you
I hide my pain, ‘cos it’s easy to do
Inside my heart we beat as two
You gained those wings, off you flew
Way up high into the wild blue
With the angels you’ve a perfect view
To memory lane I’ll skip into
Where I’ll never have to say adieu
.
Love you sweetie
Beloved Angel son

Dark clouds blowing from the west
Porthmeor Beach looking quite deserted
Beady-eye seagull
Saturday 15th September
.
Hold on tight
As I hug you tonight
Before you take flight
Beyond the moonlight
As your star shines bright
A beautiful sight
Everything’s all right
In heaven we’ll reunite
So nighty night
My Angel delight

A blustery harbour
Collecting my brother and wife, who spent the day on the train from Paddington, having flown overnight from Chicago
Friday 14th September
.
Flower festival in the church
For signs of you, I do search
.
You were christened at the font
Thought we’d have all we want
.
Stained glass windows tell a story
Maybe in heaven you fly to glory
.
So, my sweetheart Angel son
Missing you, darling one

The Parish Church
The War Memorial and blooms
The font used for your christening
Beautiful stained glass windows
Harbour at low tide, (and a seagull in the shape of an angel?)

Some things
Just can’t be fixed
So I will carry
My broken heart betwixt
This life and the next
With feelings all mixed
But full of love
So firmly affixed
Into my memories
Perfectly transfixed
And will not be
No never, eclipsed

Low tide reflections
Smeaton’s Pier
Wednesday 12th September
.
You lived
We laughed
I loved
.
Three and a half years gone
I’m still here, keeping on
Now waking up each dawn
Your empty pillow I look upon
.
We lived
We laughed
We loved
.
Together forever
Forget you never

Missing you today
As the sky turns grey
.
Love you the waves say
Breaking in the bay
.
You’re so far away
Fills me with dismay
.
Not really okay
Sort of, anyway

Missing you always
Means I’m remembering you
Wondering how you’re doing
What you’re thinking
Where you are
What you would be
How you would grow
Missing you
My heart’s way of saying
Love you forever

Boats in the harbour at high tide
Grey skies but warm
Smeaton’s Pier
Sunday 9th September
.
I will never ever let go of this grief
It reminds me of all that is worth remembering
For it is what I have left of you
I will never ever stop missing you
How could I, when you meant so much?
My sweet and precious Angel son

Warm on the harbour this afternoon
A few grey clouds on the horizon
Almost at the top of the tide
Saturday 8th September
.
Even though you’ve gone away
Within my heart is where you stay
Trying to keep those tears at bay
Whilst thinking about you every day
.
I still have so many things to say
Wishing I could go back to yesterday
When life was anything but grey
And the sun shone with iridescent ray
.
We would be planning our holiday
Our annual trip to the USA
Fun outdoors where you would play
Shopping, swimming, theme parks, yay!
.
So to heaven climbing the stairway
Upon a cloud is now where you lay
And I am left in utter disarray
But I’ll love you till my dying day
.

Porthmeor Beach
The lifeguards are still on duty
Friday 7th September
.
Forever
Seems to last so long
Interminable
On and on, without end
Eternally
Immortal, absolutely permanent
To infinity
Always and for all time
.
You, your soul, your memories
Me, my grief, my love
.
Love you forever
To infinity and beyond
My treasured Angel son
An unbreakable bond
.

Porthmeor Beach this afternoon
Harbour high tide
The Green Door…. the most photographed door in St Ives
