Oh God Forgive Me When I Whine
Today, upon a bus, I saw a girl with golden hair,
I envied her, she seemed so gay, and wished I was as fair.
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, a smile for me.
Oh God, forgive me when I whine.
I have two legs, the world is mine.
I stopped to buy some candy. The lad that 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 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've been blessed indeed, the world is mine......
