My Memorial to my four years of active duty in the U.S. Air Force. Many are not blessed in having a memorial while they are living. Thanks to Mabank, Texas, a small city of class on Cedar Creek Lake in East Texas. Copyright 2014 John J. Rigo
Proposed Cover for my third non-profit poetry book.
There are crosses
across the plains
of my life.
Each cross
a friend
a past love
a step-child
an ex-wife.
Memories of them
will always be with me.
The path of coming death
do I also walk.
Thank you Jesus
for rendering the love
of these souls
on the path
that I walk.
I know we shall
all met again
in the glory
in the joy
before us all.
