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 recently been diagnosed with cancer. She discovered that she really enjoyed writing, 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.

    in Poems about Life Struggles

    A shining act of kindness
    seen through a mist of tears
    creates a healing rainbow
    arching over all one's fears.

    Once I glimpsed another world,
    gilded streams of light unfurled,
    incandescent trails of wonder
    blew my present world asunder.

    Homely aromas
    of freshly baked bread.
    Scents of the garden
    infused in my head.

    Ann, all of your work is so special, amazing, and creative. I am so jealous at how you can convey a deep, powerful message in so few words. I tend to ramble on and on, and I literally can't...

Sylvia, I was very moved by your kind comments, especially about my poem 'I Love To Breathe In' which has failed to win hardly any votes since it was published - in fact I was thinking of asking to have it deleted from the site. I'm afraid I haven't submitted any poems recently, as I was coping with my husband's terminal illness and now I'm coping with the grief of losing him. However, I do get enormous pleasure from the poems of others, like yours. Very best wishes, Ann

Cynthia, I couldn't have asked for a better compliment from a fellow poet I really respect. I think all of your poetry is superb. Especially good to receive a boost to my moral as my husband has recently died.
