Challenges

Standard
Wednesday 14th September 

Life has its challenges
With many stumbling blocks
Yet you must find a way
To climb over those rocks
And all those obstacles
Free from the paradox
Learning to calmly breathe
Not tangled in a box

Love you both so much
Treasured sons

Blustery Porthmeor Beach
Still a few people around
Surf School going strong
In front of Central Porthmeor
Smeaton’s Pier
Low tide in the harbour

Making the most

Standard
Tuesday 13th September 

Making the most
Of every moment
That is in the now
Each breath's component
Savouring life
The pull is potent
There is no room
For postponement

Love you both so much

Happiness exists

Standard
Monday 12th September 

Happiness exists
Right inside
The smallest moments
They'll be your guide
Just look carefully
Breathe, don't hide
Dream a little more
And say you tried

Love you both so much
Precious sons

Heavy looking clouds
Fewer on the beach today
A still looking harbour
Muggy and warm
West Pier

Slowly the mist cleared

Standard
Sunday 11th September 

And slowly the mist cleared
But still overcast and grey
Yet allowed many people
To then come out and play

Love you both so much
Precious sons

Misty and rainy this morning
Autumnal colours on the Island
Man’s Head
Darker grey skies on the horizon
End of the pier in the harbour
Not so many people today
The James Stevens No 10 lifeboat
The slipway

Further than the eyes can see

Standard
Saturday 10th September 

Further than the eyes can see
Beyond that which is visible
That's where I imagine you are
Flying free, invincible

Love you both so much
Treasured sons

Porthmeor Beach and the Island
Stripes in the sky
Harbour Beach
The tide is coming in
Busy by the slipway

Trusting instincts

Standard
Friday 9th September 

Trusting instincts
And listening
An inner voice
Is whispering
All will be well
Considering
As teardrops fall
Just glistening
Trying so hard
Envisioning
The brightest star
Is you twinkling

Love you both so much
My darling sons

Making space

Standard
Thursday 8th September 

Making space
Taking time
Being calm
Quieting noise

Hard to do

Ban chaos
Dispel stress
Pause tension
Still the fear

Hard to do

Peaceful thoughts
Slowly breathe
Stop rushing
Step by step

So I try

Have small wins
I'll take care
Just be me
I'll be there

Love you both so much
Treasured sons

In perpetuity

Standard
Wednesday 7th September 

Our bond stays strong, in perpetuity
Our love stands the test of time
Various obstacles stood in our way
With many mountains to climb
But there's no letting go of memories
They'll surely last a lifetime

Love you both so much
Treasured sons

Blue skies, but soon to be followed by very heavy showers…. We got wet!

Sunshine and heavy showers

Standard
Monday 5th September 

Sunshine and heavy showers
Somehow dodging the rain
Planning a walk in the lull
So we don't get wet again

Love you both so much
Beloved sons

Beautifully sunny start for our afternoon walk
Many surfers enjoying the waves
Still fairly warm and muggy
A watchful eye kept by the Lifeguards
Darker clouds on the horizon
Looking good for the moment
Some blue skies to be seen
The wind has picked up
The tide is going out
Choppy and grey
Rain is on the way
