An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
Day Lily And Love
I’m going for a procedure this morning, a bronchoscopy, an examination of my lungs. Hopefully they’ll have some good results for me, and I’m able to go home soon, so I can tend to my Day Lily.
G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer.
I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

Good luck and best wishes, Ivor. I am sure you will be home soon to tend to your lilies and give us more beautiful verses. Lovely Francey song.
I thought you had a bad case of the bug but just wasn’t sure you probably never got your shots and you’ve been bad..don’t you hate it when it’s your turn and you’re not pepared
No results yet, have to wait, I’m feeling reasonable, although the procedure has left me sneezing and sniffling all the time. I’m very saddened at the moment, a terrible tragedy on Carole’s side of the family, our grandniece, Georgia, only 20, has committed suicide,………. ππMy heart is hurting for the family. My tears are flooded in pain, and wish my cloud would stop raining
Oh, that is so very sad. π¦ π π¦
I’m so sorry to hear this, Ivor.
One of my brother’s sons committed suicide at aged 21. It was devastating and something you never “get over” or forget, etc. π¦
