Today, upon a bus, I saw a beautiful woman and wished I were as beautiful.

When suddenly she rose to leave, I saw her hobble down the aisle.

She had one leg and wore a crutch. But as she passed, she passed a smile.

Oh, GOD, forgive me when I whine. I have two legs; the world is mine.

I stopped to buy some candy.The lad who sold it had such charm.

I talked with him ,he seemed so 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 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 “why don’t you join them dear?”

He looked ahead without a word. I forgot , 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 go.. With eyes to see the sunset 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.
