The flower peeks

Standard
Wednesday 2nd April 

The flower peeks 
A hint of gold
Long-winded stories
Of the year unfold
With every breeze
The promise clear
Of vibrant blooms
To soon appear

The days will lengthen
The sun will rise
With colours painted
In the skies
Waiting patiently
Heart alight
For spring to break
The lingering night

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

The First of April

Standard
Tuesday 1st April 

The first of April
Time for awareness
Lumps, bumps and swellings
Do not feel helpless

Testicular cancer
Need to check your balls
Don't be embarrassed
Heed the doctor's calls

Teens to the thirties
Are mostly affected
Do yourself a favour
Shouldn't be neglected

Don't leave it too late
For it can be cured
If it's caught early
You can rest assured

A taboo subject
Whispered quietly
Can't happen to me
Can fill with anxiety

Grab life by the goolies
But if there's a pain
Have your tackle checked out
Your health to maintain

Sweet Angel son
Love you forever
Forget you never

Ducks and swans

Monday 31st March 

Ducks and swans
At Wareham Quay
Sunny Dorset days
For you and me
Beneath blue skies
A glass of Chablis
With springtime smiles
Just so carefree

Mother’s Day

Standard
Sunday 30th March 

Mother's Day without you here
Holds both sweetness and a tear
Of longing for a smile, your touch
The warmth I've always loved so much

Heaven holds you in its care
While I feel you everywhere
In morning light, an evening star
In quiet moments near and far

Though arms can't reach across this space
Love remains in every place
You've touched my heart, you've shaped my way
Thinking of you this Mother's Day

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

The end of March approaches

Standard
Thursday 27th March 

The end of March approaches
Leaving behind the sadness
A month full of pain and sorrow
Should be filled with gladness

Edges of grief begin to soften
Like snow melting to the ground
Shadows recede, light whispers hope
As sunlight spreads around

Winter's heavy cloak unravels
Threads of memory slowly unwind
Mellow promises of renewal emerge
As all becomes aligned

Echoes of past struggles fade
Winds carry broken dreams away
Springtime breathes its first soft breath
As bud-filled branches start to sway

March will release its hold
Transformation waits in the wings
Healing dawns, silent and slow
Let's see what life now brings

Love you so much
Precious sons
Treasured Mum

A gentle breeze

Standard
Wednesday 26th March 

A gentle breeze
Of gratitude
For every moment
And every mood

A soft thank you
Whispered to the sky
For love, for life
And all that drop by 

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

For even

Standard
Tuesday 25th March 

For even in
Depths of despair
Life finds a way
Through heavy air
In the gloom
There’s joy to find
A reminder that
Hope lives intertwined

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Grey and damp

Standard
Monday 24th March 

Grey and damp
The chill descends
Whispering bleakness
As daylight ends
Dark clouds hover
Thick and low
Veiling the sun
Melancholic glow

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum
