These Days

Here comes one of those days

When my soul feels the light of hope within me

How could I ever forget those days

*Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me*

 

Now I bless the light

The spirit of those days within me

Forever your star of hope, glows so bright

Always there, shining down on me

 

Now I thank you for these days

The dance of glory you gave me

Remembering our world’s warm nights and joyful days

How could I forget, that blade of grass you gave me

That everlasting gift, walks with me every day

You’re in my heart every single day, believe me

 

*Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me* This line, is a line I’ve taken from the Ray Davies song “Days”, they are truly glorious words, and I could not write a better line to suit my poem, than this brilliant piece by Ray Davies….. so now sit back and enjoy his magnificent song…. “Days”

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.

    1. Oh that blue sky… such a happy blue sky … I see ‘these days’….. and the Kinks song “Days”, embodies everything I wanted to say in my poem…. especially remembering that blade of grass she gave to me, as we walked along the river bank….šŸ’ššŸ’ššŸŒ

      3. Good!
        I’m VERY much the same way.
        But I do know that some days are challenging and we have to make sure the joy comes back to the forefront. šŸ™‚ Gratefulness helps! And you do possess an attitude of gratitude, Ivor! šŸ˜€

      2. That’s nice to know… I borrowed a few lines from the Kinks song… and I had nearly my little poem, and then on listening to Ray’s lyrics…. I promptly slotted them into my poem…. xx
