The heat beats, upon the ground
I feel it is going to be a beautiful day
As I welcome the warmth of the Sun’s rays
The Sun's power; to illuminate all around
Flowers tilt their heads to the sky, in worship of the growth the Sun brings
Birds flying in the sky, rejoicing, sweetly sing
The warmth the Sun generates brings a smile to one’s eyes
It stays there a while, welcoming people passing by
As children play by the Sea, making new friends
Gardeners in their gardens, flowers, and plants they tend
Yesterday was the day of Rain
Today brings the Sun and Summer in a day, again
another Poem about the weather, for us Brits its a favourite topic as it is so changeable hour by hour, day by day

Grey clouds gathering
The day becoming colder
This is our Summer
British Summertime over?
Here's wishing that Summer stays
British Summertime, we all love to talk about the weather in these wonderful British Isles. We've had some lovely days but today is overcast and threatening to rain, hoping the sunny days come back again soon.

Summer Rain falling
Lowering warmth of the day
Nourishing the Land
Reviving life in our plants
Summer Rain, falling again

Summer Rain falling
Keep an umbrella on hand
Coats optional choice
Summer Rain nourishes land
We run around dodging drops

Summer Rain falling
Dark clouds full of Summer Rain
Falling on flood plains
Causing panic and distress
As the rain blows through again
Experimenting Tanka style, Summer Rain seems topical today.

I remember you in the mornings, when I drink my first cup of tea
I remember you when I call home and you are not there to say “hi, is that smee?”
I remember you when I’m driving with the radio on, and the DJ plays that annoying song
I remember you when we have a day out at the beach; chucking ball with each other, always just out of my reach
I remember you when I call at Mums expecting to see you there, sitting in your chair; ready for a natter, politics religion or anything else for that matter
I remember you when I pick the kids up in the car, how late at night you would pick me up no matter how far
I remember you on our anniversary and how you looked that day, pride in your eyes as you gave me away
I remember you when the England Cricket Team had their day; you would have been frustrated but elated with the way they played
I remember the wonderful Dad you were and how your arms around me showed you cared.
I remember you every day Dad and always wish you were here.

I always remember **
3rd anniversary on Friday
I miss him so much x

If i could be a tree
I would be a Weeping Willow
With deeply sunk roots, giving you strength
Billowing arms, of different length
I would welcome you to sit beneath me
I would be your pillow and your shade
As you find your peace by the stream, in this beautiful everglade

If I could be an Animal
I would be a Lion
Full of Pride
We would make a handsome pair
As we set up home in my lair
I would offer protection from hunters of all kinds
I would be your strength, your Master, your saviour from Mankind

If I could be a bird
I would be an Eagle, a bird of Prey
Master of the skies, of all I survey
I would offer you a seat beneath my wings
Sheltering you from the harmful rays of the Sun
As we glide and soar above the clouds, as one, in unison

If I could just be with you again for one day
I have so much to tell you, so much to say

Miss you **
My Dad **

Shadows on the floor

As children and dogs explore

When its late, shadows no more
Today playing with Roman in the garden chasing shadows :)
Continue to try
Push yourself harder
Be that power source
In order to make your world sharper
It all starts with you
Always be on the move
With strength and vitality
You can find your inner groove
