An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart

Today’s Tuesday Writing Prompt Challenge, from the Go Dog Go Cafe team: Write a piece of prose around the phrase: “I never want that again”, … Dear readers you are most welcome to join in the fun by clicking >> Here
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.

I could fill a book with I never want that again! Oh, okay a chapter then!
This one made me smile and nod! I’m sure we all feel this way about certain things in life.
But when it comes to the good things…there is no limit. 🙂
You may feel nearly too old…but when you smile your beautiful smile…the youngster can be seen! 😀
HUGS!!! 🙂
