“My goodnight to you,” a love poem
still guarding the flame…
My goodnight to you
Tho’ dark my candle will not be,
it burns bright with my love for thee,
yet all else must be shadowed
once each day,
and carefully must I guard my flame
to shield all else that slumbers,
else not “Good night” to you
but to the world must I explain
and say “I love her.”
Bethlehem, PA
1967 or 1968
This is perhaps the second love poem I wrote for my dearest one.
