Yesterday we went to the Moorabool Valley Chocolate Cafe, for a coffe and cake, which prompted me to remember this poem that I wrote in August 2018 …
Eating Chocolates And Watching Wars
Hungrily I’m eating a liquor chocolate
A selfish heavenly delight
Arousing my old minds senses
I wonder
What she would be thinking
Looking down from the stars
Through her sensitive olive eyes
Her everlasting smile
Her gracious courage
Her generous heart
Her forgiving soul
Her love for me and you
I wonder
What she would be thinking
Seeing these futile bloody wars
Through her compassionate olive eyes
The dead and maimed
The millions of shuffling homeless
The distraught broken families
The crying children locked in sheds
The desperate refugees with no beds
I wonder
What she would be thinking
While she preciously holds the last white dove
Observing these senseless wars
That never never end
Ivor Steven (c) August 2018
G’day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I’m an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer. I’ve been blogging for over 4 years, and writing poems for 20 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I’ve been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

Chocolates are delightfully delicious … wars are deadly and destructive …

Aw. 😦
I think she would be thinking of you, your love, and that there is still tremendous good in the world with you in it.

Some of the most compassionate, wise, giving people are the ones who have suffered greatly. 💜
