Looking up

Standard
Saturday 24th February 

Looking up 
I search for you
I smile
Hoping you'll see it too
Your star
Is there shining bright
Thinking
Of you throughout night

I hope
You're watching from afar
Guiding me
As a distant star
I sigh
In the quiet breeze
Just knowing
You're flying with ease

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

The harbour looks much better in the sunshine

A tiny flame

Standard
Friday 23rd February 

A tiny flame
Powerful became
Battling darkness
Strength to harness
Refusing to dim
There's hope within
Embers still glow
Through the shadow

Love you so much
Beloved sons
Treasured Mum

Sunshine, showers and hail today

Sometimes

Standard
Thursday 22nd February 

Sometimes
It's quite hard
A smile, a song
A scene to regard
Remembering
And reminiscing
In recollections
Your presence missing

You come to mind
In thoughts so clear
Pictures painted
Memories dear
Times we were together
The best of days
Never forgotten
In heartfelt ways

In my heart forever
You reside
A cherished bond
Where love abides
Through smiles and tears
In the grand design
In memories treasured
Your light will shine

Love you so much
Precious sons
Treasured Mum

Panic attack

Standard
Wednesday 21st February 

A panic attack yesterday
A stormy ride
The hospital visit
Nerves on edge collide
Don't know why
No rhyme nor reason in sight
Calm down, calm down
Everything's alright

In the ebb and flow
Of life's journey grand
With each step forward
Yet firmly stand
Through panic and fear
We find our way
In the light of hope
To a brighter day

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Skin check day

Standard
Tuesday 20th February 

Skin check day
A vigilant gaze
Any abnormal moles
Concerns to raise?
Being observant
In the sun's embrace
Look after your skin
In any case

That melanoma
Is a silent foe
Dermatology
To appointments go
Hospital visits
For peace of mind
Taking good care
No cancer to find

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Dearest Mum

Ready for a beach day… Big hats, sunglasses and a cover-up vs a five minute stroll to the sea for a swim, covered in spf 50

Eternity

Standard
Monday 19th February 

Moving on
Versus carrying on
What's the difference
When questioning upon?
I can't move on without you
It's true
For carrying you with me
Is what I'll do

Moving on means
Leaving behind
But carrying on
You're in my mind
In every step
In every part
You're etched within
Safe in my heart

Moving on
May mean a new start
But carrying on
You're never apart
In the journey ahead
You'll always be
A part of me
In eternity

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Dearest Mum

A brighter morning
Across the bay to the harbour

A journey of steps

Standard
Sunday 18th February 

A journey of steps
Each one a tale
In the rhythm of life
Where memories prevail
Moving forward
Yet carrying the past
In the soul of existence
Your presence will last

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

A little misty this morning
St Ives Parish Church
Kitty’s Corner

Slowly moving

Standard
Saturday 17th February 

Slowly moving
But not leaving behind
Going through
But not quite forwards to find
Taking along memories
In the heart's embrace
Always and forever
In time's endless chase

Love you so much
Precious sons
Dearest Mum

Dank and dreary, damp and drizzly

Sunshine returns

Standard
Friday 16th February 

Sunshine returns
For a brief reprieve
A break in the weather
A moment to breathe

Blue skies sublime
Painting the day
In a radiant light
Worries fade away

By late afternoon
Clouds cover the sky
Bringing rain later
With a gentle sigh

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Pretty corner of the harbour
So much better when the sun is shining
