The World is Mine!



Today, upon the bus I saw A lovely girl with golden hair, I envied her, she seemed so gay, And I wished I were so fair.

When suddenly she rose to leave, And I saw her hobble down the aisle, She had one leg, and wore a crutch, And as she passed, she gave a smile.

Oh God, forgive me when I whine... I have two legs. The world is mine.

And then I stopped to buy some sweets, The lad who sold them had such charm, I talk to him: he seemed so glad... If I were late 'twould do no harm, And as I left he said to me: "Thank you. You have been so kind. It's nice to talk to 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, walking down the street, I saw a child with eyes of blue. He stood and watched the others play; It seemed he knew not what to do.

I stopped a moment, then I said, "Why don't you join the others,dear?" He looked ahead without a word, And then I knew he could not hear.

Oh God, forgive me when I whine... I have two ears. The world is mine.

With legs to take me where I'd go, With eyes to see the sunset glow, Two ears to hear what I would know...

Oh God, forgive me when I whine... I'm blessed indeed! The world is mine!!!
