A Poem •
From Mrs. Eby...
—The World Is Mine
Today upon the bus I saw the
kwdist girl with golden hair.
I envied her anil she seemed
so gay, and I wished I were as
fair, when suddenly she got up
to leave. I saw her hobble down
the aisle. She had one leg and
wore a crutch. But as she pass
ed the sweetest smile. Oh! God,
forgive me, when I whine, I
have two legs and the world is
mine.
And then I stopped to buy some
fruit, the lad who sold it had
such charm, I talked with him,
he seemed so glad. I thought if
I'm a bit late, it will do no
harm, and when I left he said
to me, "Thank you, you’ve
been so kind, It’s nice to talk
to folks like you, you see,” he
said "I’m blind”. Oh! God for
give me when I whine, I have
two eyes and the world is mine.
Then later, walking down the
street, I saw a child with eyes
of blue. He stood and watched
the others play, but seemed to
know not what to do. I stood a
moment and then said, "Why
don’t you join the others dear?"
He looked ahead without a
word and then I knew, he could
not hear. Oh! God forgive me
when I whine. I have two ears
and the world is mine.
With legs to take me where I
go, with eyes to see the sun
set glow, with ears to hear what
I would know. Oh! Lord for
give me when I whine, I’m
blessed indeed, the world is
mine.
