SAW
your poem and thought you would enjoy this.I am a home maker and 
work with alot of handicapped people.
Today upon a bus I saw a girl with golden hair;
She seemed so gay, I envied her,and wish 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 tow 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 
could;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.
ears to hear all i should know,
Oh, God , forgive me when i whine,
I,M BLEST, INDEED,THE WORLD IS MINE...
 
AS you can see i only have trouble at the computer.
I look into this echo quite abit and enjoy it quite alot.
Well take care And all the best.
