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.

Always, trying to keep our, dignities intact, no matter how hard life beat us down, that’s the right spirit, to face ALL the trials that fate has to throw at us.
Very disconcerting at the time … ok after a couple of days … they tell events will stop happening in the next year or two! …it’s like having a one day procedure, drowsy and sore, but you’re not expecting it 🤗💛

I am glad you are feeling better, Ivor. Please take care of yourself. ❤
Your poem is poignant with vivid imagery and metaphors of your suffering! While I admire the poem, I don't wish you any more such inspiration!
