| MARCH 6, 2014 -- The World is Mine
Author Unknown
Upon a bus, I saw a very beautiful woman.
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 had a smile.
I stopped to buy some candy.
The lad who sold it had so much charm.
I talked with him, he seemed so glad.
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.”
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 doin’t you join them dear?”
He looked ahead without a word.
I forgot, he couldn’t hear.
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.
If this poem makes you feel thankful,
share it with your friends.
After all, it’s just a simple reminder
that we have so much to be thankful for!
Give the gift of love.
It never comes back empty. |
