God, Forgive Me When I Whine

( Some sharing over the weekend )
Here is the Poem that touches me very much..
I hope it does the same to you too

God, Forgive me When I'm whine

Today, upon a bus,
I saw a girl with golden hair,
I envied her, she seemed so beautiful,
And I wish 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 gave a smile.

Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I have 2 legs, I am blessed, the world is mine.

I stopped to buy some candies.
The lad who sold it had such charm,
I talked with him,
If I were late, it will do no harm.
And as I turned to go, 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, I'm blessed, 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 seemed not to know what to do.
I stopped a moment and said to him,
" 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, I'm blessed, 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.

Before we learn to appreciate others or the world, we must learn to appreciate ourselves first.
Then , we will be able to appreciate others or the world, perfectly.. :-)
