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.
