Today, upon a bus, I saw a lovely girl with golden fair, I envied her, she seemed so gay and wished I was so fair. When suddenly she rose to leave, she hobbled down the aisle. She had one leg and wore a crutch, but as 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'll do no harm. And as I left, he said
to me "I thank you. You have 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 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 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 would know, Oh God forgive me when I whine. I'm blessed
indeed. The world is mine
!
Lack of Love
While a man was polishing his new car,
His 4-year-old son picked up a stone
and scratched lines on the side of the car. In anger, the man took the child's hand
and hit it many times, not realizing
He was using a wrench.
At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers
due to multiple fractures.
When the child saw his father... With painful eyes he asked,
"Dad, when will my fingers grow back ?"
The man was so hurt and speechless. He went back to his car and kicked it a lot of times.
Devastated by his own actions... He sat in front of that car. He looked at the scratches;
The child had written "LOVE YOU, DAD." Hearts live by being wounded. The next day, that man committed suicide...
