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.

Happy birthday to your dad! What a lovely tribute to him!
Oh, what a beautiful tribute to your precious dad on what would’ve been his 100th birthday!!! Lovely photos, sweet poem, wonderful song! (Yes, pass the tissues…I’m joy-teary eyed! π )
I feel like I’ve learned a lot about your dad through you and your writings and comments, Ivor…and I DO believe the sun and moon shone (smiled) on him on the day of his birth..AND I believe on gray gloomy days he brought light into any place he entered! π
(((HUGS))) and enjoy your memories of him!! β€οΈβ€οΈ
