“A Gift Of Treasure” copyright 2008 John J. Rigo upcoming poetry book, “Passion Amidst Apathy”

I tried to think of a gift,

that would be special to you.

A gift of treasure that would endure,

thru the days of your life.

Would gold and jewels,

things that could rust,

and turn to dust,

in the sands of time,

be such a gift?

I think not,

for the earth holds many trinkets from the ages.

Trinkets buried deeply in the earth,

long forgotten of their purpose.

Forgotten of the song, they held, so long ago.

I give thee my words of my heart,

that are enclosed within the eternity of my soul.

Eternity, with such a gift,

that will go beyond the decaying trinkets of the earth.

If it is God’s will that death should temporary seperate us,

this gift shall be my seal of love,

to clothe you in the light of my love,

and carry you forward to the day,

we shall meet again in the eternity that is before us.

It will be a place without pain,

hurt, or further sorrow for us.

A place where we shall again open the seal of my love.

A place where we will laugh again in joy each day,

in the wonder of our love.
