“Facing the End of the Road” A Last Christmas? copyright 2012 John J. Rigo, upcoming book, “Passion Amidst Apathy”
Posted in Poetry, tagged A Last Christmas, A new poem by a McKinney Texas' poet, Poetry on December 14, 2012| 1 Comment »
It is a strange quiet that has come over me.
No…. it is not a desire to do away with one’s self.
My instinct to live
is too strong for that.
It is a feeling in my heart.
A feeling that I have reached the end of my road.
Kinda of like talking to your significant other
and it is like that
you are not even in the room.
You say something of significance
then they turn to you and say,
“Did you say something?”
I no longer feel passion.
none for life
none in my loins.
Maybe it was that last birthday.
The big 70′ one.
The birthday party without candles.
It seems
when I am driving
especially now
all I see
is detour and construction signs.
Perhaps now
it is really
the end of the road for me.
I am no longer afraid.
I have no fears.
I now have a feeling
heaven will be
a wonderful place.

Amidst the crowd
I looked up from my thoughts
and there you were.
The smile told me
you were watching over me.
Caring for me
Loving me from afar
protecting me.
It was a flash from eternity
that allowed me this vision.
Thank you God
for not forgetting me
and continuing
to Love me.

The Thanksgiving holiday weekend is a good time to review what true friendships are really about. It is also a time to remember those who have passed on in our lives that were “True Friends” in every sense of the phrase.
Thru Seventy years of life on this world
there has been a few lessons of life
that were difficult to learn.
Knowing the difference
between true friendships and Fair Weather Friends
was one of the hardest lessons of all.
In discovering that vast difference in friendships
I believe we live in a form of self-denial
in realizing the differences.
I am now painfully aware
that the best friends I ever had
are now long dead.
Thank you Lord
for being to me
the friend that no other is.
As my Father once related to me
“One could live a lifetime and be able to count
the true friends they would have had
on one hand.”
I have been blessed in my lifetime
to have had two of those real friends
with now my Lord
as my constant Third.

The following poem from my first published book, has been a favorite poem for many years. It has been republished several times in the Dallas Morning News, The McKinney Courier Gazette, and various major web sites. From my family to yours, our best wishes and blessings.
Over the last year, I am especially appreciative of all the positive feedback I have received on this WordPress web site. Thank You All!
Blessings, a special gift from God. Given in prayer given when no hope seems apparent. Blessings bring joys when there is darkness laughter where there are tears. Could these blessings be but tears from God? A way that our God lets us know, that He truly is there and yes He does exist? At times these gifts are given when never expected to let us know truly love and concern is there for us all. If you have forgotten on this day the many special blessings rendered to you. In this blessed thing called Life. Get on your knees render thanks to our God. He will only bless you with more of His eternal Love.“Jane is Death” copyright 2012 John J.
