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.

Your wonderful poem conveys hope, relief, and joy, Ivor!
Hope and pray more rain is on the way soon! Also, clear skies (no smoke) and a bright (not hazy) sun!
HUGS!!! 🙂
PS…Love THAT song! “Tomorrow is a new day…brand-new moon, brand-new sun”. 🙂
I’m so pleased you Xavier Rudd’s song, I’ve been to him live a few times, his performances are like his, emotional and inspiring…. He sings a lot about our environment, 🌿🌏💙((hugs))
It’s a joy to have some rain…. It hadn’t rained since you were here ??…and the beautiful beaches were covered in hazy smoke for the last few weeks……Down here we are all smiling again …. xx
pure joy I know! and seems so surreal that just a few months ago we were both shivering in the rain under blue skies! and I have pictures too! stay safe and be strong ok Ivor. love those happy smiles!
wonderful points altogether, you just gained a emblem new reader. What may you recommend in regards to your submit that you simply made some days in the past? Any certain?
