"Often, I Think Of You" copyright 2005 John J. Rigo "Rainbows Amidst Storms"

Often I think of you

in the time of our youth

when it was just us.

Sunshine glowed when we were together.

The grief of our former lives made us a pair.

Then our lives were simpler

filled with few things

but rich in much love.

Somethimes I wonder if you think of me on occasion.

Did you put aside

as I have

the separation of our love

the anger

the hurt

that we both suffered?

Beauty is in those memories.

The thoughts of us at that time are sweeter

and more beautiful when they cross my mind.

In daydreams of simpler times

my thoughts question where you are now

and did you find happiness?

Did you have the children

that we never had?

Althought many years have passed

I send to you my love from a former time

with blessing for your happiness.

I also send my wish and hope

that in the eternity to come

we will meet as loving friends.

Until then

often will I think of you.

Reblogged this on Texas Poetry and commented:

I find myself lately thinking more and more of my past. At the end of this year my life will undergo a great change. I will have to let go of a home that I dearly love where my primary home is currently located in McKinney, Texas. I will be moving from a city home to a country home in the form of a farm in East Texas. It will be to pursue a dream that my wife has had for many years. I can only hope that her decision to leave our city home, the only real home I have known for over forty years will be the right direction for our lives. Lord, bless my soon to be…… journey to a place I rather not be.
