Mindful moments

Standard
Friday 7th February 

In mindful moments
Time does slow
A gentle breath 
The heart does know

The world around
In soft repose
Peaceful pauses
Life’s sweet odes

Grateful gestures
Hands extend
Thanking the day
All worries to mend

Each small beauty
And each delight
In every moment
Love shines bright

Love you so much
Beloved sons

Daydream reveries

Standard
Thursday 6th February 

Daydream reveries unfold 
A canvas of the soul
Adrift in the ether
Thoughts take control
In sublime moments
Where spirits take flight
Illusion and reality
Blend with a shimmying light

Love you so much
Precious sons

Which way to turn

Standard
Wednesday 5th February 

Which way to turn
In light or shade
When every path
Seems freshly made?

We seek the truth
The light of day 
Hoping not
To go astray

Without rejection
We must learn
To embrace each
Twist and turn

For every misstep
Every fall
Leads us closer
To it all

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Hank, today you’d be ninety-three
But sixteen years been flying free
Many memories; you linger near
A bond untouched by month or year

Days pass, the seasons change
With happy smiles and laughs
Adventures remembered
Forever treasured in photographs

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

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
