The World is Mine
Today upon a bus, I saw a lovely maid with golden hair;I envied her--she seemed so gay--and I wished I were as fair.When suddenly she rose to leave, I saw her hobble down the aisle;She had one foot and wore a crutch, but as she passed, a smile.Oh God, Forgive me when I whine;I have two feet--the world is mine!
And then I stopped to buy some sweets.The lad who sold them had such charm.I talked to him--he said to me;"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!
Then walking down the street,I saw a child with eyes of blue.He stood and watched the others play;It seemed he knew not what to do.I stopped for a moment, then I said;"Why don't you join the others dear?"He looked without a word,And then I knew he could not 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 would know,Oh God, forgive me when I whine;I'm blessed indeed! The World is Mine!--Author Unknown--
