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.

As you are not surprised, Ivor, this poem has me crying. You’ve captured how I feel…how so many people feel.
I wish for everyone to take their feelings…sadness, anger, pain, confusion, fear (etc) and turn them into positive actions where we reach out and help others in kind and loving ways.
(((HUGS)))
PS…The song you chose has always been heart-touching to me.
This did indeed come across very effectively. It is a worthy achievement, to be able to communicate the depth of emotion of the poet through this medium. Well done. 😊
