Spring
in Spring Poems
There's a hum from the bees in the air
which stirs up gentle musings in my mind,
scented blossom is making me aware
of certain hidden treasure they may find.

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.

Yes, I know exactly how you feel - I'm sure a number of others will too. Sadly the joy has gone out of Christmas for many of us.

Oh to have someone write a beautiful poem like that for me. It's lovely, truly lovely. Very best wishes, Ann.
Oh how I feel for you. I lost my husband over a year ago and I'm still struggling. Keep writing - I found that helped. Very best wishes, Ann.
