My Women (Happy Mothers Day)

This has been a nostalgic week for me. Thursday was my mother’s birthday, and also Carole’s “funeral day” and now it is “Mothers Day”… Here is my tribute to those 2 magnificent women in my life…




My Women

After I had left the hem

Without women

I could not have survived my time

I would not have braved the climb

Ladies, you are my rhyme

My mothers of thyme

Helping me roll away the stone

Maintaining these old bones

Repairing the bridges, I have burnt

Reciting the messages, I have learnt

Cheering from the sidelines

Supporting my broken designs

Women of My Rhymes

Mothers for a lifetime

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.

  7. Oh, Ivor, such a poignant memory-filled week for you.
    This posting of photos, poem, and song/music is so beautiful, sweet, and heart-touching!
    I’m so so SO glad you have had (and still have) so many amazing, wonderful women in your life!
    (((HUGS))) ❤️💜❤️
    PS…I am having a busy, but VERY nice Mother’s Day weekend so far! 🙂 💐🥳❤️
