| asalaam alaikum friends - e-mail rox ;) *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* The World is Mine Today upon a bus, I saw a lovely girl, I envied her: She seemed so happy. And I wish I were as fair. And then, suddenly, she rose to leave, and I saw her hobble down the aisle, She had one leg and wore a crutch, But she passed a smile. Oh God, forgive me when I whine, I have two legs, I am blessed indeed. The world is mine! Later, walking down the street, I saw a man with eyes of blue. But he just stood and watched the others play. So, I stopped a moment and then I said, "Why don't you join the others, sir?" But 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, I am blessed indeed. The world is mine! And later, I stopped to buy some sweets, The lad who sold them had such charm, I talked with him. If I were late, it would do no harm. But as I turned to go, he said to me, "I thank you sir. You've been so kind. It's nice to talk with folks like you." "You see," he said, "I am blind." Oh God, forgive me when I whine, I have two eyes, I am blessed indeed. The world is mine! With legs to take me where I want to go, With ears to hear the things I need to know, With eyes to watch that radiant sunset glow. Oh God, forgive me when I whine, I am blessed indeed! The world is mine! YOUR EFFORTS MAY FAIL BUT DO NOT FAIL TO MAKE ANY EFFORTS *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* wasalaam :) |

| slm, wow.. awesome poem... thanx for sharin.. makes you really think, how thankful we should be for what we have, and inspiries you to do good... it reminds of one of my favorite ayahs: Is there any Reward for Good - other than Good? Then which of these favours of your Lord will ye deny? [Surah Ar-Rahman] |
