The End Of The Day
in Husband Death Poems
A glass of wine nearby, he sat,
his spaniel beside him on the grass,
he flicked away a solitary wasp,
a buzzard circled overhead.

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.

My heart goes out to you. I'm just glad you find writing poetry is therapeutic. I found the same when we discovered my husband was terminally ill. Do keep writing. Very best wishes, Ann.
Something about this poem really caught my attention. You have used some wonderful phrases. Really special. I must look up and see what else you have written. Best wishes, Ann.
Peggy,
I wondered if you write poetry yourself. I don't seem to be able to find any of your work online...
Very best wishes,
Ann
Peggy,
Thank you so much. Your comments mean a great deal.
Very best wishes,
Ann
I am so, so sorry to hear of your recent trauma. Goodness life can be really tough at times, but you of all people don't deserve this. You bring so much pleasure to others with your poetry.
Sending special love,
Ann x
