I have another poem that I thought you might appreciate,so her it is, and
for all of those who may read it too.
I fo not know the author, so it must come under the clasification of being
annonymous.
When I whine.
The other day, upon a bus, I saw a girl with golden hair.
I envied her, she looked so gay, and wished I were so fair.
suddenely she rose to leave, I watched her hobble down the aisle,
she had one leg, and wore a crutch, and as she passed, as smile.
Oh God, forgive me when I whine,
I have two legs, the world is mine.
Later I paused to buy some sweets, the lad that sold them had such charm.
I stayed to talk with him a while, if I were late, 'twould be no harm.
As I turned to leave, he said "Thank you, you've been so kind,
I like to talk with folks like you, you see, I'm blind."
Oh God, forgive me when I whine,
I have two eyes, the world is mine.
Still later, passing down the street, I saw a child with eyes of blue.
He stood and watched the others play, it seemed he knew not what to do.
I sttod a while, and then I said, "Why don't you join the others dear?"
He looked ahead without a word, and then I knew he could not hear.
Oh God, forgive me when I whine,
I have two ears the world is mine.
Two legs to taake me where I would go,
two eyes to see the sunset's glow,
Two ears to hear what I would know,
oOh God, forgive me when I whine,
I'm blessed indeed, the world is mine.
Hope you like that one too.
Hear from you soon.
Wally.
