World Is Mine !

World is Mine

Today, upon a bus, I saw a girl with golden hair
I looked at her and 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.

We crave for so much and yet there are people in this world who will always have to settle with the less they have. We must always be grateful for what we have..as what we have is Allah Tallah's decision
