God Knows Why
GOD KNOWS WHY
I look at this photo of us in the Moscovski Zal*
And she is leaning on my shoulder as we pose a while
For a pic taken by a passer-by with our camera (digital):
She is so sweet and loving and really devoted and lovable,
As I look at myself standing there with a grin.
Because God knows why she loves me. It’s almost a sin -
Me: sans a lot - sans hair, sans hearing, sans eyes.
She could’ve had any of these four million guys.
I feel everything about her is perfect,
But I’d have to say except in one respect:
The grinning guy posing next to her in the pic.
