God Is Love

God is my spirit
God is my soul
God is the one
Who makes my life whole.

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.
in Poems about Life Struggles
Through life we walk a tightrope
More...
between the present and the past.
Our lives hang in the balance
and there is no going back. -
Man In The Moon.
in Earth Poems
The man in the Moon
More...
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. -
Wishing You Were Here
In the silence of twilight
More...
When ghostly whispers unfold.
Thoughts fill my head
From days of long ago.
Poems by John Peter Read
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.

Hi, Haz. I'm so sorry for your loss. I feel the same way as you do. All one can do is remember the good times; it's the memories that keep me strong. I still feel her presence, for love never dies.
Thank you Luanne for your lovely comment it means so much.
I met Ann at school, she was my best friend from that day on.
It's now ten years since her passing but still our love goes on.
No one will ever take her place.
So sorry for your loss, brother Alvin. Life is so unfair. Like you, I strive on knowing this is what Ann would want me to do. It's now 10 years since her passing. No one will ever take her place. God Bless.
