My Angel.
in Wife Death Poems
Ann you fought so bravely
we were so proud of you.
But the angles needed you in heaven
there was nothing we could do.

About John Peter Read
John Peter Read was born in the East End of London in 1948. He was brought up by his Nan and mother, as his father left home when he was 5 years old. At the age of 15, John left school with just a basic education. While in school, he wrote little rhymes just for fun. A couple of his religious poems were published by the Christian church in the UK. He always looks for the best in people regardless of their faults because none of us are perfect, and he’s not one to take life too seriously. John joined the Family Friend Poems Forum in 2011, one year after his wife, Ann, passed away. Sharing his thoughts through poetry helps with the pain of grieving.

The Moment.

Through life we walk a tightrope

between the present and the past.
Our lives hang in the balance
and there is no going back. -
Man In The Moon.

The man in the Moon

looks down at the earth
and bows his head in shame.

Awareness.
in Poems about Life Struggles
Awareness is wisdom
More...
were truth wears a crown.
Where freedom is born
and lies make no sound.

Quotes by John Peter Read
Love can leave you empty,
love can make you whole.
Love can make or break you.
Love is in your soul.
Live life for the moment.
Treasure every single day,
for only God knows what's in store for us
or what he might take away.

Dear Yannik,
I'm so pleased you liked my poem. Thank you for your time and heart-warming comment.
It's only now that I'm older I realise my school years were the best days of my life. If only I could turn back time.
Hi Kumari. I was one of those who certainly pushed the limits. I now regret all those days of not attending school. I have learned life's lesson the hard way.
There's hidden strength in all of us, sister Beryl. We must never give up hope never lose faith. I do believe God is never more than a heartbeat away. God Bless.
Hi Ben,
So sorry to read your story. I'm sure you have done all you can in letting your dear wife know how much you mean to her. When my wife Ann passed away, she knew how much I loved her; no words were needed. God bless you both.
