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

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.

Wishing You Were Here.
in Wife Poems
In the silence of twilight
More...
When ghostly whispers unfold.
Thoughts fill my head
From days of long ago. -
Free Spirit
in God Poems
I've washed my hands of religion
More...
rather than let it brainwash me.
I'm no longer a prisoner being held captive
by those bars of lies and deceit. -
Don't Like.
in Limericks
The most overused word is (Like )
More...
A word I rather dislike
The young generation
Would lose communication -
Holy Father.
in God Poems
God I love you with all my heart
More...
your in everything I see.
Your the stars that shine
the sun the moon
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.

Congratulations sister Beryl on winning the summer poetry contest for children. Your win is well deserve A lovely limerick poem from a wonderful lady.

Hi Subhash. I'm glad you liked my New Year poem. Hope your friends enjoyed it as well. Won't be long now before another new year is here. How time flies!
Dear Michael, I'm so sorry for your loss. My wife Ann was 63 when she was taken from me. We were looking forward to our retirement years, which sadly were not meant to be. It's now 9 years, but her memory is still so much alive. I miss her every day. No one will ever take her place.
Sadly, humans believe money is more important than our planet, sister Beryl.
