Sunday 19th January 

Through the window 
The breeze does sigh 
Carrying tales 
Of the day gone by 
Leaves rustle 
In a gentle plea 
To join the night 
In its symphony 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Saturday 18th January 

You’d be forty today 
But thirty you remain 
Your presence echoes  
A sweet, gentle pain 

In your struggle 
You wore a brave disguise 
With courage strong 
Reflected in your eyes 

Huddled in chairs 
Loved ones drew near 
With tear-streaked faces 
Battling their fear 

Yet amidst the hope 
Shadows loomed wide 
With every heartbeat 
You fought back the tide 

Chemotherapy’s grasp 
A nemesis bold 
Stripped away strands 
Of the dreams you told 

Ten years now passed 
The seasons do turn 
Ten years uncounted 
Our hearts ever yearn 

Heaven, your haven 
With wings spread free 
We cherish your life 
Immortal absentee 

Though a decade has passed 
Your memory survives 
Remembering your exploits 
That's the way love thrives 

You reign gently above 
Where the heavens glow 
Forever remembered 
Where love's rivers flow 

Happy heavenly birthday 
Darling Frank to you 
Remembered forever 
Missed so much too 

No matter how long 
As memories replay 
It will always feel 
Like yesterday 

Love you so much 
Precious Angel son 
Gone to soon 
Now forever young 

Friday 17th January 

In the quiet corners 
Of the darkest night 
Where shadows dance 
With the moon's light 

A world unseen 
By the waking eye 
Whispers secrets 
To the boundless sky 

The stars do listen 
Each a silent friend 
To the subtle dreams 
That from minds ascend 

In their argent glow 
Finding our peace 
A moment's respite 
For a sweet release 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Treasured Mum

Thursday 16th January 

During this quiet month 
Where shadows might loom 
A little light 
Can shift the grey to bloom 
January's mood 
In balance it does sway 
Just enough sun 
To chase the clouds away 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Wednesday 15th January 

The hours stretch 
Unmeasured, wide 
No rushing clocks 
No need to hide 

Lazy sunlight 
Tries to warm the air 
Soft shadows 
Linger everywhere 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Tuesday 14th January 

January wraps itself 
In shades of grey 
A cloak of clouds 
That mutes the day 
Yet, through the veil 
Sunbeams find a way 
A golden whisper 
Asking gloom to play 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Monday 13th January 

In these moments 
Calm and true 
The soul finds space 
To start anew 
Gentle slow and kind 
Pure peace of mind 

Love you so much 
Precious sons

Sunday 12th January 

Sundays are gentle 
Soft and slow 
A quiet rhythm 
A peaceful flow 
The world moves calmly 
Free from haste 
A day for dreams 
For time to waste 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Saturday 11th January 

Back home 
Beneath grey-lit skies 
Where misty damp 
In silence lies 
The air is heavy 
Soft and still 
It clings to earth 
And wraps the hill 

The streets are wet 
The world subdued 
A quiet holds 
The somber mood 
Familiar scents 
The cold, the rains 
Bring echoes 
Of what still remains 

Though dreary clouds 
May dim the view 
There’s comfort 
In what’s tried and true 
For home is more 
Than sunlit cheer 
It’s the place 
That holds us near 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Friday 10th January 

And there we are
Back home again
Holiday's over
We're leaving Spain 
From lovely sunshine 
To wind and the rain 
We've had a blast
Really can't complain 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum
