Spring is for cleaning and for enjoying the little things in life.

Well today I would like to post one of my poems I collected, it talks about things we have that we take for granted. Our feet, eyes, ears to hear and how blessed we are to have these. I keep telling myself to be grateful when you get out of bed cause some people cannot get out of bed. Be grateful for friends, family, God's forgiveness and the beauty all around us to see and enjoy. To hear children laugh or sing is wonderful, to sing and to share a song with others is great. Just make a joyfull noise unto the Lord and He will take it from there. OK here is the poem:

                                      The World is Mine

Today upon a bus,

   I saw a lovely maid with golden hair;

   I envied her she seemed so happy

   and I wished I were as fair.

   When suddenly she rose to leave,

   I saw her hobble down the aisle'

  She had one foot and wore a crutch,
  But as she passed, a smile;

  Oh, God forgive me when I whine;

  I have two feet the world is mine.

   And then I stopped to buy some sweets

   I talked with him he said to me:

   "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.

   Then walking down the street,

   I saw a child with eyes of blue

   He stood and watched the others play;

   it seemed he knew not what to do.

   I stopped for a moment, then I 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 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 would know,

   Oh, God, forgive me when I wine,

   I'm blessed indeed the world is mine.

We really are blessed so next time you think you have nothing, look around see the beauty everywhere and thank God for His blessing. Thank God for your health, family, friends, your job and yes there is much more. Just think about all you have compared to others as the season of Spring comes in the next weeks.
