The rain in Spain

Standard
Sunday 4th January 

The rain in Spain
Is quite a pain
We'd like the sunshine
To be back again

Puddles remain
Overflowing drain
Leaving behind
Flooded terrain

Red warnings proclaim
Mustn't complain
Just stay indoors
Safety to maintain

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

A little drizzle

Standard
Saturday 3rd January 

A little drizzle
On the street
Each drop a song
A gentle beat

Soft whispers
From clouds above
Wraps the world
In silver love

Wet pavements
Glisten in the light
Each step taken
Puddles of delight

Reflecting dreams
Of skies so grey
In the coolness
Ending the day

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Fuengirola

Benalmádena

Standard
Friday 2nd January 

Yachts sway gently
Masts held high
Seagulls dance
Beneath a muted sky

Boats lined up
Row upon row
Watching currents
Ebb and flow

Love you so much
Beloved sons

This New Year’s Day

Standard
Thursday 1st January 

This New Year's Day
Turned out quite grey
But hope whispers softly
Calling the sun to play

And through the gloom 
A promise breaks free
The world starts to stir
Straining to see

The rain won't linger
It must find its way
Leaving behind a canvas
With which to play

With every drop falling
A chance to renew
A fresh start awaits
That'll see us through

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

The last day of the year

Standard
Wednesday 31st December 

The last day of the year
Leisurely roaming along
The busy waterfront
The sun's rays quite strong
Parrots darting about
With a raucous birdsong

Waves lap gently at the shore
As children play on the sand
Echoes of joy, a sweet encore
Moments held within the hand
Dreams of future help us cope 
Twilight moves over the land 

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

The sun spills gold

Standard
Monday 29th December 

The sun spills gold
Upon the air
A gentle warmth
Beyond compare

The harbour wakes
In light so bright
The water sparkles
Blue and white

Finding a spot
Near tethered boats
Catching every breeze
That gently floats

Those distant gulls
Begin to cry
Beneath the vast
Bright blue sky

The hour does feel
Perfectly designed
To ease the worries
Of the mind

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

The day after the storm

Standard
Sunday 28th December 

The day after the storm
It turned out quite warm
As the morning light did creep 
The world awoke from sleep
Sunshine meanderings
Happy families gatherings
A quiet, gentle ease
Now rustles through the trees 

Love you so much
Precious sons
Treasured Mum

A rainy day

Standard
Saturday 27th December 

A rainy day
With winds quite strong
Luke caught the bus 
A journey long

From Málaga’s shores
To Sevilla’s heart
Clouds gather round 
A dramatic start

The sky weeps softly 
A rhythmic song
Those raindrops dance
Bouncing along

Onto Tavira
His home is in sight
We've had a great week 
From morn to night

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum
