happy birthday april for an eternity to come because with your faith in God an eternity was won no more worries or fears of death no more choking or gasping for breath no need for doctors or even a nurse there is only one cure for every single curse no fighting, debating or picking sides love is the answer and love decides i thank God for this day the day that you were born for without this day my love would be forlorn one day for certian when the deadline comes i'll pass through the curtian and straight for you i'll run and as God as my wittness to the many days i cried i often wanted to be with you but thank God i never tried we could have had our love story and then let that be that but the Lord has a better story and i believe that that's a fact i still believe in a love that is so so true the love that holds us together me, God and you

John, I am going back and reading some of your poetry and I am mesmerized by your use of words that so expresses your inner most feelings. This piece is written from the heart -as a lot of the others - I am truly moved by it. Thanks for sharing. One love. Joy Wells

If we take a sensitive use of words, emotion and insight, a poet may be born; You have all three John but problems are hampering your talent. Remember, when you reach bottom, there's nowhere to go but up but patience may be needed sobe good to yourself till this passes. :Love, Elizabeth

What a very touching tribute to April-- I totally agree with that mindset, of being thankful to God for the day that person was born, of having had that chance to spend time with them...very nice way to end this poem, John...

John, you opened your heart and said it all with such feeling. I can only imagine how it must hurt. A book is certainly in order - soup mail

Dear John, there really is no love that can survive without faith. I can feel both your pain and your love in this beautifully written poem. You sure are growing as a writer! Isn't it about time you published a book? Love, Carolyn
