Yorkie And Me

Yorkie’s staring at me vacantly

Like I’m a strange tattooed bikie

Sitting on him, me anxiously crying away

Why am I crying, he quietly says

Looking at me with those big silver eyes

Pondering whether he’s hurting me

Is the ride too much pain

Is all the walking a physical drain

No !! None of that I exclaim, crying tears again

I’m crying wondering, if I’ll ever get there

Crying, because I cannot wait to be there

Crying with embarrassment, for the tears I’ll shed when I’m there

Suddenly, Yorkie barks out at me

Oh Ivor, keep pedalling, toughen-up and and you’ll arrive

Yes, me and my companion Yorkie, have become friends.

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.

    Don’t be too hard on yourself! One ride at a time! You WILL reach your goals, I just know it!!! πŸ™‚
    You know I’m big on crying…I cry when I’m happy, I cry when I’m sad, I cry at weddings, I cry at sweet TV commercials, I cry when babies are born, I cry when anyone else is crying, I cry reading certain poems, I cry looking at a beautiful piece of artwork, I cry when I hear certain songs…ETC…well, you get the picture. I cry a LOT! πŸ™‚ Don’t ever be embarrassed to cry. We need more people like you in the world, Ivor…people with deep, precious feelings, compassion, big hearts, wonderful souls!
