That Face and That Hair

that face come along but once in a lifetime
once in decades
once in a generation
once in forever

I wondered if her hair was as soft as it looked
she was the epitome of youth personified
a jealousy slammed into my heart for a second

with that face 
and that smile
and that soft beautiful hair
I could have been somebody

Oh my, Caren. You must never think that! Never measure your worth or success by any other person...especially their looks. Hmmm...maybe I could have been Shakespeare if I had....nah! Besides, I really love being Milt!
