Today I sat upon a park
bench watching how happily some children & teenagers played
I envied them as they
seemed so happy. And I wish I were as fair.
And then, suddenly,I saw
a little boy rise from the beach where he laid
I watched him
hobble down through the soft sand,
He had one leg and wore
a crutch,But as he passed , he smiled it`s a
lovely day, Sir don`t
you think.
I returned the smile ,nodded
my head yes and added a wink .
I immediately ask the Creator
To forgive me when I whine
, I have two legs,
and I know I am blessed
indeed. For the world is mine !
To walk upon with legs
made specially for me,
Later, walking down the
street,I saw a man with eyes of blue.
But he just stood and
watched the others play.
So, I stopped a moment
and then I said,
"Why don't you join the
others, sir?"
But he looked ahead without
a word.
And then I knew he could
not hear.
Oh Great Creator, forgive
me when I whine, I have two ears,
I am blessed indeed. The
world is mine!
As I continued to walk,
I stopped to buy some sweets,
The young man who sold
them had such charm,
I talked with him. If
I were late, it would do no harm.
But as I turned to go,
he said to me,
"I thank you sir. You've
been so kind.
It's nice to talk with
folks like you."
"You see," he said, "I
am blind."
Oh Heavenly Creator forgive
me when I whine, I have two eyes,
I am blessed indeed. The
world is mine to see!
With legs to take me where
I want to go,
With ears to hear the
things I need to know,
With eyes to watch that
radiant sunset glow.
Oh Heavenly Creator, forgive
me when I whine,
For I am Truly blessed
indeed!
The world is the Creators
Pearl and for Everyone too see
Please Know You To Are
Blessed!
