Heartfelt Poems

I wrote these poems to express my feelings. However, they soon became an emotional journey of enlightenment that helped me discover myself and how I saw life. Through my poetry I wanted to show how we can help others and also appreciate those who help us and those whose love we share.

My biggest inspiration was the love of my family and God and a desire to show that by acts of kindness and love we can help to improve other people’s lives by following God’s simple way of living, something I only recently discovered and which transformed the way I see life.

Love is………

Love is when you share
One heart
One soul
One mind
It is a promise of a loving kind
The kind that lets them all run free
To find their dreams and liberty
And while pursuing all of this
A seal is made with a kiss

Kerry Dowd was born in Liverpool, where he spent all of his childhood with his parents, Brenda and John, and two brothers, Graham and Paul. He also has a stepbrother, Adam, and a stepsister, Rebecca.

He found his school years very difficult and, consequently, did not get the benefit of a good education. However, later in life, he decided to go back to school and even to university, studying English literature.

Kerry married his first wife, Yvonne, and they had two children, Katie and Michael; however, sadly, Yvonne died when the children were very young.

Six years later, he found true love again and married Beverley, and they had four boys: George, Harry, Alfie and Max.

His poems reflect his love for his family and his recent love for God.
