Journeying

Standard
Tuesday 29th October 

Journeying into
The realm of thought
Where Why, Wherefore
And If only are sought
Within that land 
We might find
The truths hidden
Deep in the mind

Love you so much

What was left behind

Standard
Monday 28th October 

What was left behind
In the quiet wake of days
Are echoes of laughter
And soft, familiar ways

Traces of moments
Lingering in the air
The warmth of a memory
A touch, a whispered care

Footprints fading
Yet deep within the mind
There’s a part of you
In all you left behind

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Sunny Dorset

Standard
Sunday 27th October 

Sunny Dorset, clear and bright
Fields of green and cliffs of white

The coastline sparkles, wild and free
Waves rolling in across the sea

Golden hills and blooming lanes
Sunlit paths with leafy domains

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Leaving St Ives this morning
Driving past Honiton
On to Dorset

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
Beloved Mum

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
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Bright and breezy

Opportunity

Standard
Thursday 24th October 

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

Precious sons

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
Precious sons

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
