Some Time Now

Today is our 48th Anniversary … and my “Memories and Rhymes”, keep flowing …




Some Time Now

Anniversaries, they come, and they go
Some time now since that final May snow
Anniversaries, my soul does not let them pass
Some time now, I reminisced the last

Anniversaries, none ever forgotten
Some time now since your everlasting smile was taken
Anniversaries, over coral and every colour
Some time now since your tidal wave of valour

Anniversaries, when love grew stronger
Some time now since the years became longer
Anniversaries, covered by, love, suffering and pain
Some time now since our river flooded with rain
Your troubles fell, with an Autumn leaf
Forever enshrined, our promises of belief

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. It’s always the memories of your shared happiness that you can CHOOSE to, remember, on these, ocassions, which will make the loss, a little easier to, take, and you know, that, you two will, meet back up in heaven in the future some day…

    1. Thank you kindly, Linda … as you know, these personal events are nostalgic jolts to the system, but we manage, always some tears and then some heartwarming smiles πŸ€—πŸŒπŸ’•
