Hello dear readers, I suppose nobody will ever understand me, or know where I’ve come from, nor comprehend, the difficult journey that I’ve travelled, to be here with you now. Below is my humble poem of thanks, for your encouragement and support…..
My Feelings, You Are All, More Than Nine
The palms of my hands are wet
From wiping the tears off my cheeks
The soles of my feet are cold
But my soul is feeling like sunlit gold
With your shared warmth, caressing my open arms
My heart is now covered, in the ink of your kind words
And my gracious self, cannot speak
The praise I’ve received, has stolen my voice
So here I write, honestly, to you, my dear readers
I’m overwhelmed, humbled, and also honoured
Sincerely, I thank you
And here, I play this love song, for all of you
A poem I wrote for Michele, who inspired me to think of these words of praise and thanks, to all of those readers who enjoy my writings…….. ‘Always my pleasure’……..
Ivor Steven (c) September 2019

Ivor, this is so beautiful, especially:
“My heart is now covered, in the ink of your kind words”
Everything about this speaks to your own talent and the caring and kindness you show others.

Oh and Aw, this is very sweet and beautiful, Ivor! 🙂 Thank you! 🙂
It is difficult for us to understand anyone else’s specific journey.
Part of that is because many of us don’t/or can’t share ALL of the struggles of our past.
BUT we can care about and support each other, because we all know that life can be hard, painful, weary-ing, sad, etc. So we come from that place of humanness that connects us and we can love and care about each other. 🙂
You, Ivor, are easy to love and care about! You have all of us here and you are so important to us! We are so glad you are here! 🙂
HUGS!!! 🙂
