E-Fishin-C Posted April 15, 2008 #1 Posted April 15, 2008 The World is Mine Today, upon a bus, I saw a very beautiful woman And wished I were as beautiful When suddenly she rose to leave, I saw her hobble down the aisle. She had one leg and wore a crutch. But as she passed, 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'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 two eyes; the world is mine. Later while walking down the street, I saw a child I knew. He stood and watched the others play, but he did not know what to do. I stopped a moment and then I said, "Why don't you join them dear?" He looked ahead without a word. I forgot, 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'd go. With eyes to see the sunset's glow. With ears to hear what I'd know. Oh, God, forgive me when I whine. I've been blessed indeed, the world is mine. This morning when I wakened And saw the sun above, I softly said, "Good morning, Lord, Bless everyone I love." And right away I thought of you And said a loving prayer, That He would bless you specially, And keep you free from care. I thought of all the happiness A day could hold in store, I wished it all for you because No one deserves it more. PLEASE SEND THIS TO ANY AND EVERYONE YOU CARE ABOUT, I just did!

Marcarl Posted April 16, 2008 #16 Posted April 16, 2008 Thanks Charlie, I've read it before, lots of times, and lots of times I realize how good we have it when we have all our utensils working. Hope to read it more times yet, because as of now I'm not near perfect, and can use all the help that's available.
Sweetnothing Posted April 16, 2008 #17 Posted April 16, 2008 Thanks Charlie! Sometimes we need a reminder to be thankful for what we have....before it's gone, or we are!
