It matters not, now, this frantic din Or what could be false, or true For when I go, Heaven will let me in Because I was loved by you

Really deep love poem. How do we ever know what is false or true? And isn't so much of life a frantic din? (Well, maybe not so much during quarantine...) Enjoyed this.

Thank you - I was only twenty or twenty-one when I first wrote this - kind of hard to believe how much time has passed!
