Each raindrop

Standard
Tuesday 28th October 

Each raindrop a jewel
On the window pane
A rhythmic comfort
Soothing away pain

The world retreats 
To a cozy den
Where warmth and comfort
Seep through again

A gentle cadence
Soft and slow
Whispering secrets
Calmness will grow

Love you so much
Precious sons

The small delights

Standard

Monday 27th October 

The small delights that life can bring
Allows enjoyment of anything

Not letting impatience rule the day
And chase the happy peace away

Avoiding the urge to rile and tease
Finding gentle calm and inner ease

For naughtiness can turn on you
Leaving you feeling sad and blue

Instead, embrace a tranquil state
Where joy and peace collaborate

Love you so much
Precious sons

Letting time flow

Like the river that bends
In the company of nature
And dear, lifelong friends
For today is a gift
With all that it brings
A slow Sunday morning
Where joy softly sings

Love you so much

Believing in tomorrow

Believing in tomorrow 
A brighter embrace
Faith as the compass
Finding your place
Lifting voices high
Letting the world hear
In bravery’s echo
Dispelling every fear

The bloom fades fast

Standard
Thursday 23rd October 

The bloom fades fast
The glow departs
As humdrum tasks
Reclaim our hearts

No longer basking
In the sun's bright ray
Just shopping lists 
To face the day

Suitcases unpacked
Clothes on the floor
Washing machine
Starts to roar

The heat subsides 
A cooler breeze
Grey skies return
Through rustling trees

No cocktails sweet
No ocean feast
Back to normal
For a while, at least

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Early, early morning

Standard
Wednesday 22nd October 

Early, early morning
The alarm cries out
Three thirty ticks by
Night whispers about

Airport before five
The sky starts to glow
Dreams of holidays 
Just a heartbeat ago

As the engines roar
The plane lifts high
Across the clouds
It starts to fly

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Slow farewell

Standard
Tuesday 21st October 

And it's a slow farewell
To a wonderful summer's spell

Lingering warmth of sun on soft skin
Memories made from deep within

Golden days now start to fade
As autumn colours are displayed 

Gentle breezes whisper low
Where summer's vibrant flowers grow

Sweet fragrance lingers in the air
A final moment beyond compare

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Golfing range

Standard
Sunday 19th October 

Golfing range beckons
Green and wide
A peaceful space
Where worries hide

The rhythmic swing 
A gentle grace
A smile appears
Upon the face

The ball takes flight 
A soaring dream
Beside the putting
Surface green

Relaxing thoughts
Begin to flow
Watching lazy
Welcome breezes go

No pressure here
Just simple fun
Beneath the warm
And golden sun

A perfect end
To day's sweet song
Where I truly feel 
That I belong

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum
