Dreary shadows

Standard
Tuesday 9th July 

In the land of dreary shadows 
Where darkness reigns
Where the sun will not shine 
And the misty moon wanes

Lies a place dull and gloomy
Simply full of despair
Where hope's a distant memory
And joy is rare

Yet not fearing shadows
Or the gloom that surrounds
As even in darkness 
A spark of light can be found

So with each step forward
The darkness may fade
When the light of hope
Could guide through the shade

Love you so much
Treasured sons

Dull and gloomy

Though

Standard
Monday 8th July 

Though he's gone
His spirit remains
In every sunrise
And whenever it rains
Carrying him with me
Memories of joy
Never forgetting
Sweet darling boy

Love you so much

Rainy all day

Sunny Sunday

Standard
Sunday 7th July 

Sunny Sunday glimmer
Visiting family
Lunch beside the river
Moments cherished happily

Laughter dances in the breeze
Conversations warm and bright
Sunlight filters through the trees
Time well spent, pure delight

Love you so much

St Ives this morning
Our lunchtime spot, the Upper Deck at Rock
Overlooking the River Camel, towards Padstow
Low tide, blue skies

Each task a step

Standard
Saturday 6th July 

Each task a step
Towards the light
Creating calm
Making things right

A breath of fresh air 
A peaceful mind
In the clarity
New joys to find

Time to clear out
Life simplified
An organised place
Where comfort resides

Love you so much
Treasured sons

A sunny morning, but heavy showers in the afternoon

And when

Standard
Friday 5th July 

And when
The storms of life come our way
We'll stand firm
Trying never to sway
For with hope
As our powerful guiding force
We'll conquer
All obstacles, staying the course

Love you so much
Treasured sons

Oh dear, really not a nice day at all
The view from the car this morning

The billowing cloud

Standard
Thursday 4th July 

He walks among
The billowing cloud
His laughter ringing
Clear and loud
His eyes filled
With a gentle grace
And there's that smile
Lighting up his face

Love you so much

Quite busy on Porthmeor Beach
Very breezy with choppy waves
Busy and more sheltered in the harbour

Can I ?

Standard
Wednesday 3rd July 

Can I find
The strength within
To face the fears
Where dreams begin?

Can I chase
The morning light
To turn the darkness
Back to bright?

Can I stand
When shadows fall
Get up again
To heed the call?

Can I hold
Through the strife
The guiding star
That shapes my life?

Can I? will I?
Learn to soar
Embrace the sky
Forevermore?

Love you so much
Treasured sons

Certainly not like July at all

Grey skies above

Standard
Tuesday 2nd July 

Grey skies above
Just a muted hue
But it's summertime
Where's the blue?

Yet hope persists
For skies to clear
To bring back warmth
With joy and cheer

Love you so much
Beloved sons

Grey skies this morning
By afternoon….
It was much warmer
Quite a few on the beach in the corner of the harbour

Then

Standard
Monday 1st July 

Then the dawn breaks 
A brand new start
Then hope awakes
In every heart

Then the shadows lift
And light pours in
Then we find courage
So deep within

Then the past
Becomes a distant shore
Then we step forward
Seeking more

Then dreams once hidden
Take to flight
Then we embrace
The endless night

Love you so much
Precious sons

A grey start to July…… Where has the sun gone???

When

Standard
Sunday 30th June 

When the sun dips low
And stars appear
When the world is hushed
And dreams draw near
When the heart is full
And filled with care
When we seek peace
Or moments to share

When the rain falls soft
Or storms rage on
When we find our strength
Or feel withdrawn
When the questions rise
And answers flee
When we embrace what is
That what will be will be

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

St Ives this morning
