Notes About The Poem

June 2, 2025, entered in Charles Messina's The Beatles--Lay It on Me Poetry Contest

 

"You've Got to Hide Your Love Away"

 

*********************************************************************************************

The Love Letter

Please Listen to me when I say,
“You’ve got to hide your love away.”

I know I have to hide mine too.
It’s hard to hide a love so true!

Our parents wouldn’t understand 
young love. They’re blind to things this grand.

The bell for sixth-grade recess rings
at ten. Let’s meet beside the swings.
