Cherish your life....and you are blessed

Today on 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, she smiled

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

Oh, God, forgive me when I whine

I have 2 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 is a poem written by someone. It is indeed a very meaningful poem. It reminded me that I have so much in my life to be thankful for, that I should feel grateful for what I have, anytime, anywhere. I learned that being contented for life is the basic element that everyone should have in their mind.

Cherish what you have in your life~
