Today, upon a bus, I saw a girl with golden hair I looked at her, 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
If this poem makes you feel like I felt, just forward it to all your friends, after all, it's just a simple reminder....
We have so much to be thankful for!!!
