Original Blog Entry: Forgive me when I whine...

emilyg — Thu, 22 Nov 2012 17:52:12 GMT

Today upon a bus I saw A lovely maid with golden hair I envied her - she seemed so gay- And oh, I wished I were so fair, When suddenly she rose to leave, I saw her hobble down the aisle; She had one foot and wore a crutch, But as she passed, a smile, Oh God, forgive me when I whine, I have two feet - the world is mine.

And when I stopped to buy some sweets, The lad who served me had such charm He seemed to radiate good cheer, His manner was so kind and warm. I said, It's nice to deal with you, Such courtesy I seldom find. He turned and said, Oh, thank you, sir! And then I saw that he was blind. Oh, God, forgive me when I whine, I have two eyes- the world is mine.

Then when 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 feet to take where I'd go, With eyes to see the sunset's glow, With ears to hear what I would know, I'm blessed indeed; the world is mine; Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
