The World is Mine

Today, upon a bus, I saw a very beautiful woman

    And wished I were as beautiful

    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, she passed a smile.

    Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.

    I have two legs; the world is mine.

    I stopped to buy some candy.

    The lad who 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 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 don't you join them dear?"

    He looked ahead without a word.

    I forgot, he couldn't hear.

    Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.

    I have two ears; 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.

    This morning when I wakened

    And saw the sun above,

    I softly said, "Good morning, Lord,

    Bless everyone I love."
   
And right away I thought of you

    And said a loving prayer,

    That He would bless you specially,

    And keep you free from care.

    I thought of all the happiness

    A day could hold in store,

    I wished it all for you because

    No one deserves it more!
