Sunday 11th February 

A rhapsody of light 
With shadows play 
In the ever-changing 
Canvas of the day 
Sunshine and showers 
An erratic blend 
A reminder that 
Beauty has no end 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Saturday 10th February 

Covering everything 
In a mist of diamond dew  
Nature's jewels 
In rain's quiet debut 
Each bead a gem 
In the soft light 
A cantata of droplets  
In the tranquil night 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Friday 9th February 

Soft drizzle 
Gentle embrace 
Beneath the trees 
By your resting place 
Soothing the skin 
A tender touch 
Teardrops falling 
You're missed so much 

Love you so much
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Thursday 8th February 

Not fully present 
Lost in a nebulous place 
Seeing but not looking 
In life's crowded space 
Moving but going nowhere 
In a silent slow flow 
Waiting for the sunshine 
In dim shadows' echo 

Love you so much 
Beloved sons 
Treasured Mum

Wednesday 7th February 

Driving home 
Having said goodbye 
Through country lanes 
Where memories lie 

Softly falling rain 
Hits the screen 
Wipers clearing 
So all can be seen 

Passing traffic 
Mile after mile 
Now safely back 
It took a while 

Fire is lit 
Warmth that glows  
A cup of tea 
Time for repose 

Love you so much
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Tuesday 6th February 

Through the New Forest 
Those memories return 
Remembering you 
I quietly yearn 
I imagine your soul 
Graceful and free 
Gliding over trees 
In soft serenity 

Your spirit on a horse 
Swift and true 
Across the gorse 
In the morning dew 
So many memories 
In these special places 
Stoney Cross, Picket Post 
Where time retraces 

Whispering tales 
Of days gone by 
The heart of the forest 
Under the sky 
The rustle of leaves 
Each whispering breeze 
Your presence lingers 
Among the many trees 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Monday 5th February 

Dorset driving 
Scenic lanes unfold 
Visiting family 
Stories retold 
Springtime flowers 
Colourful bloom 
Chasing away 
The winter gloom 
Then out for dinner 
By the marina's side 
Catching up 
With the evening tide 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Saturday 3rd February 

Daydreams, not nightmares 
During the dark  
Peace, not chaos 
With the morning's lark 

Breathe, not suffocation 
In the air so sweet 
Awake, not hibernating 
To life's heartbeat 

Enjoying, not worrying 
As moments unfold 
Smiling, not frowning 
In joy untold 

Living, not drowning 
In the seas of time 
A dance of existence 
When all's sublime 

Love you so much 
Beloved sons 
Treasured Mum

Friday 2nd February 

The greyness persists 
In a muted song 
Monochrome tones 
Where shadows throng 

Damp in the air 
A misty scene 
Chilled to the bones 
To keep a routine 

The horizon's blurred 
The mind's subdued 
Monotone thoughts 
In the solitude 

Dankness lingers 
In the drizzly air 
Droplets descend 
In winter's despair 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum
