>FORGIVE ME WHEN I WHINE

>>

>>Today, upon a bus,

>>I saw a girl with golden hair.

>>and wished I was as fair.

>>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 2 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 2 eyes, 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 and then I said,

>>"Why don't you join the others, dear?"

>>He looked ahead without a word.

>>And then I knew, he couldn't hear.
