I WISH , I..

 

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 wore 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.

 

* DEAR LORD, teach us to be thankful for all that you

have given us. Help us to be content with what comes

from You, remembering that what You choose is better

than what we choose. You are the Potter and we are the

clay. Turn our lives and do what in Your divine

knowledge is best for us. Lord, I trust You...let Your

will be done in my life.

Thank you so much for this email. Our worldly and materialistic desires blind us

from understanding Swami's divine games of life! I openly admit that I was

definately a victim to such 'wishes' as many of us are. However, experiences

show that Swami is plays games throughout our life whereby the end result is

structured for our good if not our own victory! Thank you for such a beautiful

email once again!

 

God Bless
