About Ann D. Stevenson
Ann D. Stevenson only began writing after she retired, when she joined a Writing for Well-Being course. It was during a difficult time, as her husband had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. She found writing very therapeutic, more especially poetry. It was a real boost to her morale when Family Friend Poems began publishing her poems.
Ann was married for well over 50 years, but sadly is now widowed. However, she is lucky enough to have two happily married children and four grandchildren. She now lives in The Cotswolds in the UK. In the past, Ann has worked as a teacher, helped in a children’s home and spent some time as a PA.

Beautifully written, as usual. I would definitely 'be grieved by your leaving'!
Love and very best wishes, Ann.
Having just read the very moving poem you wrote about your mother dying I looked for more poems by you and found this lovely one. I shall search to see if I can find more. Do keep writing.
Very best wishes,
Ann
Yes, I too sat by my Mother's bed as she died. It was therefore very moving to read your poem. You paint a very clear picture.
Very best wishes,
Ann
Oh Pat, another lovely poem to brighten up my day. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Love and very best wishes, Ann. Keep writing...
Yep - a good message for us all. I look forward to reading more of your poetry. Best wishes, Ann.
