A Rainbow
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.

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.

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
Sylvia, this is a beautifully written poem and brings back many happy memories of my childhood. I also liked reading your bio and looking at your lovely photo. Best wishes, Ann D Stevenson
Bless you - so kind and caring to send such a lovely message.
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.
Oh Patricia, another lovely poem. I find all your poetry so relatable - it speaks to my heart. Please keep writing. Very best wishes, Ann
