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.

Yes, so very true, Ivor!
Such gorgeous photos, a powerful poem, and a song that always reminds us to persevere, find our inner strength and hope to deal with struggles, and encourage others to do the same! 🙂

While our rights exist,
Those in power quite resist,
Ceding their power.
