Another storm

Standard




Tuesday 27th January 

Another storm
Rolls in with rage
Trees bend low 
Roots disengage 

Gusts howl fierce
And branches sway
As nature weeps
The skies turn grey

Hail like pellets
Hitting the ground
Puddles brown
A splashing sound

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

When morning comes

Standard
Sunday 25th January 

When morning comes
And skies are clear
A gentle warmth
Draws patience near

The world awakens
With a glow
Transforming all
With sunlit show

In every heart 
A brighter spark
It’s better when
Sun leaves its mark

Love you so much
Beloved sons
Treasured Mum

The grey expanse

Standard
Saturday 24th January 

The grey expanse
Begins to sigh
A steady rhythm
Meets the sky
With whispers soft
The winds do blow
Spreading tales 
Of love and woe

The trees bend down
As if to hear
The echoes of
Forgotten cheer
Their branches sway
With gentle grace
While shadows dance
In dusk's embrace

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

The steady drops

Standard
Friday 23rd January 

The steady drops
Descend in somber hue
The heavy clouds
Obscure the heavenly blue

This endless grey
Does weigh upon the soul
A longing deep
For days that make us whole

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

So much unseen

Standard
Thursday 22nd January 

So much unseen
A different truth resides
A hidden depth
Where true emotion glides

The surface shows 
A calm and easy way
But underneath 
The shadows hold sway

Love you so much
Beloved sons
Treasured Mum

Those precious gifts

Standard
Wednesday 21st January 

Those precious gifts
Shine so very bright
Don't let passing time
Obscure their light

Hold dear the bonds
Of those walking with you
Speaking of love
In all you say and do

Love you so much
Precious sons
Treasured Mum

Forty one candles

Standard
Sunday 18th January 

Forty one candles
Should burn bright today
But a number you never quite
Reached on this way

Just those thirty years
Was your time to stay
Eleven more vanished
Into a numb, soft grey

Grief is a tide
That will never depart
Washing anew
Upon a broken heart

We celebrate you
With a long, sad sigh
For the part of your life
That's just hurried by

Heaven holds moments
We cannot reclaim
Whispering softly
Your beautiful name

Though forty one
Where the calendar falls
Thirty is all
That our memory recalls

The missing years
Ache with a hollow sound
Right here on this earthly
Solitary ground

No matter how long
As memories replay
It will always feel
Like yesterday

Love you so much
Precious Angel son
Happy heavenly birthday
Now forever young
