The Perfect Gift

Liquid joy is glazing my eyes

I’m reading newly received, birthday cards

They arrived today, from America

Messages of love, from distant families

Hand written words, etching visions into my soul

A envelope full of really real, colourful stars

And children’s love letters

For the kindhearted dragon and his faeries

Including my cousins, touching heartfelt poem

Followed by my gift, a writers notebook, for those special dreams

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.

  13. My dear Ivor there are things I cannot say….
    Certain things in certain ways….

    So here I go….

    Today’s a day so very special for you….
    Says who? Says me says he, says she and everybody with glee,
    So today this is a wish only you can make come true.

    Close your eyes, make a wish and blow out your candle,
    Because the way you smile is the beautiful brightness know one else can handle.

    Much Love and … many more Birthday wishes to you.
