Forgive Me When I Whine  

Today, upon a bus, I saw a girl with golden hair [b]I looked at her and sighed and wished I was as fair. [/b] [b]When suddenly she rose to leave, [/b] [b]I saw her hobble down the aisle. [/b] [b]She had one leg and used a crutch [/b] [b]But as she passed, she passed a smile. [/b] [b]Oh, God, forgive me when I whine [/b] [b]I have 2 legs, the world is mine. [/b] [b][/b] [b]I stopped to buy some candy [/b] [b]The lad who sold it had such charm [/b] [b]I talked with him a while, he seemed so very glad [/b] [b]If I were late, it'd do no harm. [/b] [b]And as I left, he said to me, [/b] [b]"I thank you, you've been so kind. [/b] [b]It's nice to talk with folks like you. [/b] [b]You see," he said, "I'm blind." [/b] [b]Oh, God, forgive me when I whine. [/b] [b]I have 2 eyes, the world is mine. [/b] [b][/b] [b]Later while walking down the street, [/b] [b]I saw a child with eyes of blue [/b] Sh[b]e stood and watched the others play [/b] It seemed she knew not[b] what to do. [/b] [b]I stopped a moment and then I said, [/b] [b]"Why don't you join the others, dear?" [/b] Sh[b]e looked ahead without a word. [/b] [b]And then I knew, she couldn't hear. [/b] [b]Oh, God, forgive me when I whine. [/b] [b]I have 2 ears, the world is mine. [/b] [b][/b] [b]With feet to take me where I'd go. [/b] [b] With eyes to see the sunset's glow. [/b] [b]With ears to hear what I would know. [/b] [b]Oh, God, forgive me when I whine. [/b] [b]I've been blessed indeed, the world is mine.[/b] [b]
