Sunday 26th November
As the sun sets,
Upon the cloud
Your head rests.
And when it rises,
The mask I wear
All pain disguises.
As the moon beams
And lights the dark
Sweetest of dreams.
And when it wanes
I try so hard
To hide the pains.
Thinking of you always
Loving you forever
My darling Angel son

Driving home….
The sun slowly disappears….
Below the trees…
A criss cross of clouds, when we came to visit you, just before arriving home
Saturday 25th November
Standing with you this morning
Trying to stop a tear from falling
Can you hear my words calling?
As on Angel wings you’re soaring
For each new day keeps dawning
And my heart, for you, is longing
Memories of you, returning
My son, with you, I’m walking
Love you forever
Missing you daily
Beloved Angel son

Friday 24th November
A beautiful rainbow sprite
Among iridescent clouds
Ice crystals scattering light
A solar halo enshrouds
Was that you painting the sky?
Splashing colour in an arc
Holding a paintbrush as you fly
Trying to chase away the dark
Precious Angel son

A colourful prism appeared in the clouds this morning, when we came to visit you
Looking down on the town, bathed in sunshine
And then, later on, a rainbow appeared, outside the front door
Thursday 23rd November
What I wouldn’t do
To have a hug from you
What I wouldn’t do
To hear your voice, too
Sadly that’s not to be
No more will your face I see
From all pain you’re set free
My Angel, forever thirty
Love you forever
Beloved son

Just two hardy surfers today, on a cold, blustery afternoon
Wednesday 22nd November
Night night my Angel
Time to sleep
Safe in my heart
Your memories I keep
Night night my darling
Time to dream
Wish upon a star
Swing on a moonbeam
Night night sweetheart
Time to slumber
Picture the universe
So full of wonder
Night night my poppet
Time to doze
Gently snuggled
In a sweet repose
Night night my treasure
Time to rest
The sun has set
Over to the west
Sweet dreams

Tuesday 21st November
My Angel……
Flies
With butterflies
Blows
Through rainbows
Glides
Above hillsides
Floats
Over fishing boats
Soars
Among centaurs
Fly high
Sweetie pie
Love you
My Angel

Monday 20th November
Red roses for my love
Looking down from heaven above
Red roses for my darling
Up there your star is sparkling
Red roses for my boy
You filled our hearts with joy
Red roses for my son
Whose earthly life is done
Red roses for my Angel
I’d give more if I were able
Wish you could have more than this
A gentle hug, a mother’s kiss
Love you forever
Treasured son

The incoming tide around Smeaton’s Pier
Sunshine on the houses with dark clouds behind
Harbour panorama
Sunday 19th November
Everywhere I try to find signs
I look for your face in the clouds
I search for you walking in crowds
Everywhere I think you’re there
From the little robin that comes to visit
The white feather that flutters for a minute
Everywhere there’s a piece of you
In a curving, colourful rainbow
Or the landscape lit in a golden glow
My Angel is everywhere
Sitting on the empty chair
Silently flying through the air
Anywhere
Somewhere
Over there

Late afternoon sunshine
Looking down on the harbour
Saturday 18th November
My grief becomes less obvious
But don’t doubt it is still there
Kept hidden away within myself
A silent, interminable nightmare
I know my grief can’t always be seen
But because I loved you so much
My broken heart will ache forever
Until such time your hand I’ll touch
Missing you always
Loving you forever
Sweetheart Angel son

Walking down to the beach this afternoon
A few surfers enjoying the waves
Harbour high tide
Friday 17th November
Just wish my blues
Were the hues
Of the ocean
And the sky
Not the sorrow
Of each tomorrow
The emptiness
Of your absence
Miss you so much
My darling son
Beloved Angel

Golden autumnal colours against a vivid blue sky
The Parish Church
The harbour bathed in sunlight
High tide
Red and yellow boats brighten the scene
Cool, blue waves on Porthmeor Beach
The Journey of My Left Foot (whilst remembering my son)
