Sunday 5th November 

Searching through darkness 
Into a void they stare 
The chasm beneath 
An abyss of despair 
Icy tendrils encircle 
Hope begins to fade 
No breath remains 
In this desolate shade 
No energy to be found 
As heaviness weighs down 
In the depths of gloom 
Where sorrows drown 
But they try to remember 
Even in obscurity so deep 
A glimmer of light 
Is a promise to keep 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Saturday 4th November 

As the future unfolds 
Uncertain and wide 
In moments of reflection 
Where emotions reside 
In the tapestry of life 
These routes we tread 
With each step forward 
There's a new story ahead 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Friday 3rd November 

Fragments of memories 
Like whispers in time 
Fleeting smiles, a falling tear 
Both yours and mine 
Hope and regret entwine 
In the shadows of the past 
Waiting and thinking 
In contemplation, steadfast 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Thursday 2nd November 

In the depths of night 
A tempestuous fight 
Winds howled with fury 
A relentless might 
Noise and chaos 
As we took a battering 
Seas clashed with cliffs 
In a tumultuous gathering 
Debris' been scattered 
Like fragments of dreams 
In the heart of the tempest 
Nature's power screams 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons

Wednesday 1st November 

Don't know where I'm going 
My head's all in a spin 
Covid's brain fog's got me 
But I'll not let it win

Tuesday 31st October 

Grey and misty 
With cool, dank air 
Evenings draw in 
Going nowhere

Monday 30th October 

The first time ever 
Despite being careful 
Rest, water, and painkillers 
Keeps from being fearful 
Bedbound for a while 
Hoping for a brighter day 
Covid, please do one 
And go far away 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Sunday 29th October 

If I close my eyes 
Will the monsters retreat? 
If I turn away 
Will they take a back seat?

Saturday 28th October 

"Why can't I?" you ask 
With a hopeful plea 
You try and you try 
But the answers aren't free 
You know, deep inside 
You've got strength to find 
So chase your dreams 
Leave your doubts behind 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Friday 27th October 

To Exeter 
Oncology 
End of the trial 
Ten years for me 
Uneasy feelings 
Weigh heavily 
Safety blanket 
Is gone you see 
Melanoma 
Uncertainty 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons
