Dreamt of your radiant face last night.
So serene, a diamond, a dove, so pure white.
Not sad, just vivid memories, oh so bright.
And still plenty of tears, don’t worry, I’m alright.
Visions of your bravery, courage above and beyond.
So gracious, an everlasting smile for everyone.
Completely in awe, amazing, oh what an anthem.
And still crying out, you were natures stellar blossom.
Felt your pain, your sorrow, revealed to only a few.
So uncomplaining, never a burden, never a shrew.
Thinking the whole world should be like you.
Wishing this hungry planet could cheerful too.
Wondering is life, sometimes ordained cruel.
But I’ll continue on, for you, my sparkling Jewel.

Oh Ivor….your love is so…. I’m sorry, I can’t even find words lovely enough to express how I felt reading this, about your Love. This surely went straight through the angels to your own Angel and made her smile.
