Monday 24th August

.

And there you are

Showing up

Between the silence

Of my thoughts

.

An image of you

Breaking through

The calmness

Of my psyche

.

To make me smile

To make me cry

And I wouldn’t have

It any other way

.

Love you sweetheart

My darling Angel son

Another cloudy day

Still enjoying the waves

Maybe fewer on the beach today

Sunday 23rd August

.

An afterglow

Of smiles and laughter

Even though we didn’t have

A happy ever after

.

Thinking of you

Beloved Angel son

.

Saturday 22nd August

.

You’re always there

Soaring in the air

Flying somewhere

.

I’m acutely aware

That life’s unfair

No time to prepare

.

But our love we share

Know that I care

My sweet teddy bear

.

Beloved Angel son

Fluffy cirrus clouds

Wispy strands

Porthmeor Beach at low tide

Enjoying the surf

Enclosures seem necessary for social distancing

The surf school is doing a roaring trade

Looking towards the Island

A sunnier harbour today

Wide angle blue skies and big clouds

Friday 21st August

.

Pain starts creaking

Into the cracks

When you try to pretend

It’s OK to relax

.

Love you poppet

Beloved Angel son

Down Porthmeor Hill to the beach

A few groups at West Porthmeor

Many folks having fun in the sea

Watched over by the RNLI

Dark clouds, but warm

Two visiting yachts finding safety in the harbour

Very low tides at the moment

Thursday 20th August

.

Smiling to stop the pain

Laughing to halt the tears

Being cheerful to hide the strain

Exuding calm to ease the fears

.

Still missing you

So very much

Thinking of you too

Your hand in mine to touch

.

Sweet Angel son

Wednesday 19th August

.

Endeavouring to keep occupied

Is what I aim to do

Every so often I stop to breathe

And my thoughts turn to you

.

Missing you poppet

Darling Angel son

xxxxx

Still grey and misty…. Waiting for Storm Ellen

Tuesday 18th August

.

A smiling heart

When I think of you

Just knowing that

Helps me win through

.

Thinking of you daily

My darling Angel baby

No, not maybe

Missing you like crazy

.

Sweet dreams

Sweetheart

xxxxx

A little brightness this afternoon

Monday 17th August

.

Memories remain

Despite all the pain

Your smile still reminds

Of a love that binds

Photos to treasure

Give endless pleasure

Precious Angel son

Now forever young

.

xxxxx

Down leafy, green country lanes

For husband to visit the physio, (all good)

Sunday 16th August

.

A drive out to Gweek

Avoiding home crowds

In the countryside

Beneath the grey clouds

.

Watching the wildlife

Along the wooded trail

Skimming dragonflies

Fresh air to inhale

.

Swallows, fish and ducks

Small bridges to cross

Bullrushes, bamboo

Boulders with green moss

.

A different day out

In the summertime

Didn’t meet a soul

Perfectly sublime

.

Thinking of you sweetie

My darling Angel son

xxxxx

.

Saturday 15th August

.

Always together

Me and you

Distance between us?

Stuck like glue

Beating in my heart

Love so true

Precious Angel son

Shining through

.

Love you poppet
