In Awe
One day there walked into the little store
which at the age of sixteen I worked at
a gorgeous boy. I must have dropped my jaw!
Like a Prince Charming – someone to adore -
was that wonderful dark-eyed young man that
I saw!
I pinched myself because it seemed unreal
that he saw me (this boy who had no flaw)
and wanted very much with me to chat.
I think of him today and still I feel
in awe!
