A few days back, upon a bus, I saw a very beautiful
Woman and wished I were as pretty as she.
When suddenly she rose to leave, I saw her hobble down the aisle;
She had one leg and wore a crutch...
But as she walked pass me, she gave a warm smile.
Oh God, forgive me when I whine; I have two legs yet I was complaining.
I stopped to buy some candy. The man who sold it had such charm.
I talked with him, he seemed so glad. And as I left, he said to me, "Thank you, you've been so kind.
It's niceto talk with folks like you.
""You see," he continued, "I'm blind." Oh God, pls 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 to him,"Why don't you join them dear?
"He looked ahead without a word. Then I remembered 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! Then be contented for what you have and for the gift of Life.
Give the gift of love and be thankful to GOD.
