The Interloper
Discovering You Have Cancer
You came in uninvited
and decided to stay,
I am going to poison you,
make you go away.

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 has been married for well over 50 years and is lucky enough to have two children and four grandchildren. She now lives in The Cotswolds in the UK with her husband. In the past, Ann has worked as a teacher, helped in a children’s home and spent some time as a PA. One of her latest poems probably sums up how she feels about retirement!

A particularly moving poem for me at the moment, as my husband has terminal cancer and is now on palliative care.
Well done, Patricia. Yet another lovely poem. Very best wishes. - Ann
Well, you've really made my day. I have to tell you, although you must know it already, your poems are a great deal more popular than mine!
All the best, Ann
Bless you, Patricia, very kind comments, but I definitely feel you are the real poet. Very best wishes, Ann
A really lovely comment from Aaron. I only wish we could hear that melody.
