On The Seventh Day Before Christmas

Me and my sister, Miffy … …. … Brother Danny and birthday cake

Hello dear readers and followers, I am on Holidays, resting at my siblings places in Ballarat and will not blogging very much for the next 2 weeks.



On The Seventh Day Before Christmas

Today a family tradition was broken

Our Christmas day luncheon

Was held a week early

As was brother Danny’s

Seventy-fourth birthday

And we did not gather

For the usual home cooked feast



Instead, we entertained ourselves

At a local riverside restaurant

Where we still raised our glasses

And enjoyed the luxury of being waited on

“Knowing, Mum and Dad would be smiling down on us”

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.

  12. Happy Birthday Danny!
    We celebrated early too, I did a Christmas lunch on Sunday for those who cannot be with us on Christmas Day. We’ll be cooking again for the rest of the family on the day itself. Can’t wait, I love Christmas!
    Enjoy your holiday with the family. Happy Christmas, xx🙂
