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! Oh, God forgive me when I whine, I have two legs. 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, 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. With feet to take me where I’d go, with eyes to see the sunset’s glow, With ears to hear what I would know … Oh, God forgive me when I whine. I’m blessed indeed. The world is mine.
