The World is Mine ...

Today, upon a bus, I saw a girl with golden hair
 
I looked at her and sighed and wished I was as fair.
 
When suddenly she rose to leave,
 
I saw her hobble down the aisle.
 
She had one leg and used a crutch
 
But as she passed, she passed a smile.
 
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine
 
I have 2 legs, the world is mine.
 
 
 
I stopped to buy some candy
 
The lad who sold it had such charm
 
I talked with him a while, he seemed so very 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 2 eyes, the world is mine.
 
 
 
Later while walking down the street,
 
I saw a child with eyes of blue
 
He stood and watched the others play
 
He did not know what to do..
 
I stopped a moment and then I said,
 
"Why don't you join the others, dear?"
 
He looked ahead without a word.
 
And then I knew, he couldn't hear.
 
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
 
I have 2 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've been blessed indeed, The world is mine.
