FORGIVE ME WHEN I WHINE: Inspirational stories
<p>
Today upon a bus, I saw<br>
A lovely maid with golden hair;<br>
I envied her - she seemed so gay -<br>
And oh, I wished I were so fair.<br>
When suddenly she rose to leave,<br>
I saw her hobble down the aisle,<br>
She had one foot and wore a crutch,<br>
But as she passed, a smile.<br>
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine;<br>
I have two feet - the world is mine.<br><br>
And when I stopped to buy some sweets,<br>
The lad who served me had such charm;<br>
He seemed to radiate good cheer,<br>
His manner was so kind and warm.<br>
I said, "It's nice to deal with you,<br>
Such courtesy I seldom find."<br>
He turned and said, "Oh, thank you, sir!"<br>
And I saw that he was blind.<br>
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine;<br>
I have two eyes - the world is mine.<br><br>
Then, when walking down the street,<br>
I saw a child with eyes of blue.<br>
He stood and watched the others play;<br>
It seemed he knew not what to do,<br>
I stopped a moment, then I said:<br>
"Why don't you join the others, dear?"<br>
He looked ahead without a word,<br>
And then I knew; He could not hear.<br>
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine;<br>
I have two ears - the world is mine.<br><br>
With feet to take me where I'd go,<br>
With eyes to see the sunset's glow,<br>
With ears to hear what I should know:<br>
I'm blessed indeed, The world is mine;<br>
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
