Today,
upon a bus, I saw a very beautiful woman. And
wished I were as beautiful. When suddenly she
rose to leave, I saw her hobble down the
aisle. She had one leg and wore a crutch. But
as she passed, she passed a smile. Oh, God,
forgive me when I whine. I have two legs; the
world is mine.
I
stopped to buy some candy. The lad who sold it
had such charm. I talked with him, he seemed
so glad. If I were late, it'd do no harm. And
as I left, he said to me, "I thank you,
you've been so kind. It's nice to talk with
folks like you. You see," he said,
"I'm blind." Oh, God, forgive me
when I whine. I have two eyes; the world is
mine.
Later
while walking down the street, I saw a child I
knew. He stood and watched the others play,
but he did not know what to do. I stopped a
moment and then I said, "Why don't you
join them dear?" He looked ahead without
a word. I forgot, he couldn't hear. Oh, God,
forgive me when I whine. I have two ears; the
world is mine.
With
feet to take me where I'd go. With eyes to see
the sunset's glow. With ears to hear what I'd
know. Oh, God, forgive me when I whine. I've
been blessed indeed, the world is mine.
If
this poem makes you feel thankful, just
forward it to your friends. After all, it's
just a simple reminder that we have so much to
be thankful for!
