Grasp it

Standard
Saturday 26th October 

For those who grasp it
The world can be a stage
A place where dreams
Become reality, not just a page
Taking risks
Embracing the unknown
Their determination
So brightly shown

Love you so much
Precious sons

Sunny

Come what may

Standard
Friday 25th October 

In the light
We dance, we laugh, we shine
In the shadows
We linger, seeking a sign
Yet through it all
Somehow we find our way
Through sighs and smiles
Come what may

Love you so much

Bright and breezy

Opportunity

In the realms of life
There lies a positive pathway
Opportunity
Golden bright, shining every day
It knocks on doors
It whispers in the breeze
Guiding towards
All those dreams, with ease

St Ives harbour

Sunshine and shadows

Standard
Wednesday 23rd October 

Sunshine and shadows
Sit side by side
Sighs and smiles
Like a shifting tide
Moments of warmth
Moments of gray
Both weave a journey
Each and every day

Love you so much

Becoming cooler

I talk to you

Standard
Tuesday 22nd October 

I talk to you
But you're not there
Yet I hope you hear
All thoughts laid bare

In quiet moments
When all alone
Feeling you close
Although you’ve flown 

The heart still reaches
Seeks your voice
In this silence 
Having no choice

So I’ll keep speaking
Soft and true
In hopes my words
Will drift to you

Though you're not here 
I still believe
A bond like ours
Will never leave

Love you so much
Precious sons
Treasured Mum

A pretty morning

When all’s said and done

Standard
Monday 21st October 

When all's said and done
What will there be?
A legacy of dreams
Of hopes, all agree

The echoes of laughter
The echoes of tears
The memories of triumphs
The memories of fears

But in the end
When all's said and done
We are but dust
Beneath the setting sun

Yet in our hearts 
A spark does remain
A flame that burns
Despite the pain

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

A cloudy morning, a much better afternoon

Then

Standard
Sunday 20th October 

Then, it was simpler
A time of carefree skies
When laughter filled the quiet
And life knew no disguise

Then, the world was softer
With every step we took
No shadows crept behind us
No worries to unhook

But time, it moves so swiftly
And seasons change their hue
Yet in my heart, I keep it
The "then" I shared with you

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

A dull morning turned into a brighter afternoon

And that is why

Standard
Saturday 19th October 

And that is why
The sun rises each day
To chase away the darkness
In its own bright way
To kiss the earth
With its warm golden light
And banish the shadows
Of dreams filled with fright

And that is why
The stars shine in the night
To give us hope
And fill us with delight
To guide us
When we're lost and alone
And remind us that
We're never on our own

Love you so much
Precious sons
Treasured Mum

A beautiful autumn day

The trees stand tall

Standard
Friday 18th October 

The trees stand tall
Branches near bare
Few leaves to rustle 
In the damp air
Their whispers lost
In the grey silence
Their roots anchoring
In calm defiance

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Misty morning
Dull afternoon

Pondering

Standard
Thursday 17th October 

Pondering mysteries of life
The purpose of it all
Wandering through fields of dreams
Where memories recall
Contemplating the universe
Its vastness and wonder
Seeking truths in the stars
Looking up, at those we live under

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum
