Here's an excerpt of a speech by Og Mandino. We don't always realize all that we have, even if we have little.
Enjoy;
“The World is Mine”
Today upon a bus I saw a girl with golden hair; She seemed so gay, I envied her, and wished that I were half so fair; I watched her as she rose to leave, and 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 on I bought some sweets. The boy who sold them had such charm, I thought I’d stop and talk awhile. If I were late, t’would do no harm. And as we talked he said, “thank you, sir, you’ve really been so kind . It’s nice to talk to folks like you because, you see, I’m blind.” Oh, God , forgive me when I whine; I have two eyes--the world is mine.
Later, walking down the street, I met a boy with eyes so blue. But he stood and watched the others play, it seemed he knew not what to do. I paused, and then I said,” Why don’t you join the others, dear?” But he looked straight ahead without a word, and then I knew, he couldn’t hear. Oh, God forgive me when I whine; I have two ears--the world is mine.
Two legs to take me where I go, Two eyes to see the sunset’s glow, Two ears to hear all I should know, Oh, God, forgive me when I whine; I’m blessed, indeed, the world is mine.
:great:
