Iva Publications
A personal Literary & Creative Project by Alan M. Simpson
I'm Alan Simpson, and for years I have been gathering my thoughts about the people, places, and moments that have left an impression on me. I have decided to share them online instead of keeping them locked away. This site is named after my grandmother Iva, who understood that the best stories come from paying attention to ordinary things.

The poem explores how my reluctant act of appreciation for the efforts of a past classmate is followed by an unexpected thank you. A decade after the chance connection with Diana, we both continue to benefit from the blessings provided by that moment.
Created from my short story of the same name. The song follows how relationships over a lifetime can have unexpected outcomes. In the end be at peace no one can know what the future brings. Not having many friends is not a defect, it is a necessary part of what makes the world go around.
I want to hear from you!
