Stunned

Last night in shul
    I saw a young lady 
completely out of my age range
She could be my daughter 
   maybe even my granddaughter
        But nevertheless 
I couldn't keep my 
     eyes off her
Enslaved by her beauty and youth 
     I march to the tune 
which the celestial powers 
     have laid out for me 
Peace is hard to find!

love it, matt. This comes over me once in a great while upon seeing a gorgeous hunk of man standing in front of me like in a line in the store or something! Enjoyed your fun comments on Gypsy Rose.
