Analysis of Trust

Eileen Goldberg 1950 (Brooklyn)



I thought of you this morning,
as I often do.
I thought about the things we’ve
said and pray to God they’re true.
The light of love is plain to see,
it shines so bright on you and me.
I do believe this to be true,
the love of my life has always been you.
