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

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.

Thank you Queen Liz for your encouragement. I will try my best.
Hi Mickey, so sorry for your loss, especially someone so young as your dear wife. I lost my wife Ann in 2010, but it still hurts like it was only yesterday. Sometimes I wonder if there really is a God.
I agree with you, Cynthia. A mother's love is the first real love we encounter, and there's no greater love than a mother's love. God Bless.
Hi John,
I understand how you are feeling.
I often wish God had taken me first, knowing life can never be the same after losing your soulmate.
Wish you well dear friend.
Hi HOSwrites,
I believe each day is a step nearer, on the road to fulfillment, and that each mistake is a lesson. They'll be many obstacles to overcome, and we may often ask where God is, but as we know, a teacher will always stays quiet during a test.
