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.

I sometimes think if it wasn't for people like you I might just give up writing poetry. I get so low when my poems don't receive any votes. In fact I tried to get one deleted,...

Another poem so clearly expressing my own feelings. It's good to read your poems and to know that I'm not alone. Keep writing. Very best wishes, Ann.
Oh how well I recognise your feelings behind this poem. I too recently lost my husband after over 50 years of marriage. It is very hard to carry on. My thoughts are with you. Very best wishes, Ann.
Hi Alan
Yes, we have very similar stories. I too had been married for 58 years. Like you, I have also done a creative writing course since retirement. I very much look forward to reading more of your work.
Very best wishes,
Ann
Cynthia,
Thank you for your kind words - it means a lot to me as I love the way you write.
Very best wishes,
Ann
I've just been reading more of your poems. This one, like many of your other poems, relates to how I feel. I, like you, get great comfort from other poets on Family Friends. Writing about my feelings during my husband's terminal illness and subsequent death, was a great help to me, as I understand it was for you too. Very best wishes, Ann.
