Moderators kimi Posted July 14, 2016 Moderators Share Posted July 14, 2016 *THE WORLD IS MINE* (Hardeymhola) Today, upon a bus, I saw a very beautiful woman and wished I were as beautiful. When suddenly she rose to leave, I saw her hobble down the aisle. She had one leg and used a crutch. But as she passed, she passed a smile. Oh, God, forgive me when I whine. I have two 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 two eyes; the world is mine. Later while walking down the street, I saw a child I knew. He stood and watched the others play, but he did not know what to do. I stopped a moment and then I said, Why don't you join them dear?" He looked ahead without a word. I forgot, he couldn't 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'd know, Oh, God, forgive me when I whine. I've been blessed indeed, the world is mine. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators kimi Posted July 14, 2016 Author Moderators Share Posted July 14, 2016 It's such a beautiful poem. Someone sent it to me in a forwarded message this morning. What I love the most about it is that it reads very Victorian Such talent... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
