Sunday dawns

Standard
Sunday 2nd February 

Sunday dawns
Skies quite grey
Gloomy weather
Here to stay
Yet indoors
Warmth does rise
Roast dinner 
Comforting prize

Warm aroma
It will spread
Through the house
Waiting to be fed
A sense of comfort
Delight and cheer
Dispelling gloom
Drawing all near

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Slow down

Standard
Saturday 1st February 

Slow down, those thoughts
Let the world's noise fade
Listen to the silence
Whispers of peace conveyed

Focusing on stillness
Time itself seems to rest
No movement, just being
In the moment, truly blessed

Breathing in the calm
Exhale all that stirs within
In the quietude, find
A serene place to begin

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Within

Standard
Friday 31st January 

Within
This heavenly scene
It is
But a fleeting dream
I awaken
The world will fade
Leaving just
Memories I've made

Love you so much
Precious sons
Treasured Mum

If I could

Standard
Thursday 30th January 

If I could 
I would
Reach across the void
But I can't
The distance is too great
You're not here
Where you should be
In this space
Beside me
Yet, your absence
Fills the room
Like a silent
Echoing tune

If I could 
I would
Weave words into time
But I can't
The moments slip by
You're not here
But your spirit
Lingers
In each breath
In every sigh

If I could 
I would
Make the world pause
But I can't
Life moves relentlessly on
You're not here
Yet you are
Everywhere 
A presence
A memory 
A beautiful song

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

In the depths

Standard
Wednesday 29th January 

In the depths of silence 
Finding solace knowing
Our bond transcends
Boundaries of time and space

In the darkest of nights
Your spirit lingers
Illuminating the path
Back to your embrace

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Gales blow fierce

Standard
Tuesday 28th January 

Gales blow fierce
Across the sea
Rain hits
With unrelenting glee

Waves crash
Upon rugged shore
Clouds dash
Shadows racing before

The ocean roars
Its voice untamed
The storm's hold
Power sustained

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Silence does cry

Standard
Monday 27th January 

The silence cries
Tears falling from eyes
Like rain from grey skies

In the quiet I hear
The echo of each tear
A whisper of fear

A mourning so deep
Even stillness does weep
And secrets keep

Each drop a story old
Of love, of loss, untold
In the silence, cold

The world in hush does lie
Beneath the weeping sky
And silence does cry

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

In the silence

Standard
Sunday 26th January 

In the silence 
I find myself adrift 
A ship without a compass
Blowing on spindrift

Searching for shores
Of your presence
A haven of your love
Your total essence

As days stretch on
Each one a testament
To your absence
Lost in the sentiment

A constant reminder
Of the void
That now consumes
Nearly destroyed

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Blue skies stretch wide

Standard
Saturday 25th January 

Blue skies stretch wide 
A canvas of crisp clarity
Chilly wind whispers
Through bare branches of January

Each gust carries
The promise of renewal
The silent hush of winter
Embracing the world to refuel 

Yet beneath the chill
Life stirs, waiting
For the sun's gentle nudge
To awaken and start creating 

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

With all one’s might

Standard
Friday 24th January 

Along the path of life
Shadows and light entwine
Seeking alignment 
A sacred line

Resistance, a force
Stubborn and strong
Pushing back
Where we feel we belong

Then there's the art
Of releasing, letting go
Of all that binds
Fears we've come to know

Open, we stand
Ready to receive
All of life's gifts
Love, lessons, belief

With gentle hands
Starting to remove
Barriers to the heart
Beginning to improve

The journey continues
Healing, a soothing balm
Mending the spirits 
A restorative calm

Starting to imprint
Marks on the world
With every step
Stories unfurled

And then creating
In each moment anew
Shaping lives
With visions true

For future goals
Setting one's sight
With hope, with love
With all one's might

Love you so much
Beloved sons
Treasured Mum
