YOU WILL NOT MIND, by                    
Last Line: You will not mind, for dear, you will not know.
Subject(s): Worship


You will not mind if, deep within my heart,
I tend an altar fire that burns for you
And our lost love ... if from the world apart
I bow before the shrine in reverence true!
You will not mind if I should call your name
Unconsciously -- for habits are so strong ...
If in my loneliness, I let the flame
Blaze high, when dreary nights are long!
Nor mind my daily plans to earn your praise;
My silent ritual with evening star ...
It somehow helps to fill the empty days ...
And if I still should worship from afar
A sensitive soul that helped my own to grow,
You will not mind, for Dear, you will not know.
