Sunday 10th August 

Thirty seven degrees 
Find shade beneath the trees
Where there's a cooling breeze
You can do as you please

Love you so much 
Precious sons

Saturday 9th August 

Wandering along 
A sunlit street 
The hot pavement 
Beneath my feet 
Roaming through 
The warmth of the day 
Lost within dreams 
To meander and play 

Love you so much 
Beloved sons 
Treasured Mum

Olhão, Algarve 

Friday 8th August 

A grateful heart 
A gentle smile 
Amongst the crowds 
Lost for a while 
As dreams intertwine 
Like roots of trees 
Hopes go dancing 
Petals on the breeze 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Thursday 7th August 

A ferry boat ride 
To the island beach 
On shaded loungers 
Sun's rays out of reach 
Warm sand beneath toes 
A dip in the sea 
Sparkling clear water 
And life is carefree 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Wednesday 6th August 

Portugal 
Here we come 
Holiday 
Engines hum 
Warm sunshine 
Azure sea 
Cheers to that 
You and me 

Love you so much 
Precious sons

Tuesday 5th August 

Dearest Mum 
Today you'd be 
The grand old age 
Of ninety three 

Happy heavenly birthday 
The third one without you 
Love and miss you 
Forever and always

Monday 4th August 

Ideas, like clouds 
Shift and change form 
Embracing the calm 
Amidst the storm 
With each passing moment 
Learning to see 
The beauty in thoughts 
That will set us free 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Sunday 3rd August 

Time stretches gently 
When the dampness falls 
Like condensation 
Languishingly drawls 

In the quiet moments 
When the world feels slow 
A whisper of solace 
Beneath the soft flow 

Each droplet a story 
Each sigh a breath shared 
As shadows grow longer 
And the heart, unprepared 

Finds peace in the stillness 
In the grey summer air 
As leaves begin dancing 
And the world loses care 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Saturday 2nd August 

Then gently sliding 
To a slower gear 
When the world softens 
And whispers draw near 
The rush of the day 
Starts to fade away 
In this mellow rhythm 
Just longing to stay 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Treasured Mum

Friday 1st August 

In this space 
Finding peace 
Dancing clouds 
Worries cease 
Nature invites 
To simply be 
Self aware 
Truly free 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum
