My precious Starman
Fly as high as you can
My bright, shining star
Your light shines so far
Way up there at night
Where your wings take flight
Quite sweet and innocent
Just so magnificent
Love you forever
Always together

A grey afternoon; not as many on the beach today
Self drive boats ready for the holidaymakers….. but rather drizzly for them this afternoon
Sunday 25th March
.
Outside, enjoying the sunshine today
Digging and weeding in the garden
Preparing the ground for bedding plants
A cold Spring had made the soil harden
.
We only have quite a small space
But we like the colour the flowers bring
And pollen for the bees and butterflies
Listening to the songbirds sing
.
You never used to help us out
Staying inside to watch cartoons
But sometimes when it was sunny and bright
You’d pick flowers in the afternoons
.
Petal by petal you’d strip them off
Absorbed in this delicate task
Until only the bare stem remained
Why you did this, we’d always ask
.
Really wish you were back here with us
Taking pleasure in the fresh air
Smiling and laughing, so innocent
But all we have is an empty chair
.
Love you sweetie
Forever and always

You, amongst the flowers
Your brother, not looking too happy
Spring sunshine over the town this morning
Saturday 24th March

Anything triggers a memory
Everything reminds me of you
Nothing will bring you back
Something is hurting, that’s true

Love and memories live on
In the shattered remnants
Of my fragile, broken heart

Love and miss you so much

If you can hear me
I’m saying “I miss you”
If you can see me
I’m blowing kisses
You know me well
I’m saying “I love you”
Forever and always
My darling Angel son

Nighttime dreams of drowning
Beneath the oceans of obscurity
Below those choppy, cresting waves
Are memories of childhood purity
Sucked down in subterranean seas
Trying to shake off insecurity
I search for your smiling, angel face
To bring us together in family unity
.
Missing you sweetheart
Beloved Angel son

A sunny Porthmeor Beach
But surely not that warm to go swimming wearing just shorts??
Tuesday 20th March
.
Each sleeping and waking moment
In my thoughts and dreams
No longer held within my arms
But wrapped up in moonbeams
Up there with twinkling stars
Where the silvery light gleams
My Starman is flying so high
Enveloped with love, it seems
.
Love you forever
My darling Angel

Thinking of you every day
Love you with all my heart
Wish I could go back I time
Our precious lives to restart
.
Missing my Angel
Dearest, darling son

View of St. Ives from Carbis Bay
Bitterly cold this afternoon at Porthmeor Beach
Sunshine in the corner of the harbour
Sunday 18th March
.
I didn’t ask for memories
We were having so much fun
I thought we’d have more time
More adventures under the sun
.
I didn’t want memories
I didn’t think I’d need them
Didn’t realise what they’d be
Each one is now a priceless gem
.
I didn’t assume they’d be memories
Those precious moments in time
Caught forever on camera
Or locked into that heart of mine
.
And now that’s what you are
A beautiful, treasured memory
My dearest, darling Angel son
Soaring high and flying free.

Cold and grey, but none of the promised snow
My first walk into town for a week, since dislocating my toe
Saturday 17th March
.
Family is everything
But life is so very fragile
And memories just priceless
Whilst the heart is quite breakable
The future completely unpredictable
.
Love you forever
My darling Angel
