"To be yourself, in a world which is doing its best-night and day-to make you everyone else, is to fight the hardest battle
                you will ever fight and never stop fighting."

"And the best thing you've ever done for me,
    is to help me take my life less seriously,
    it's only life after all."

Today upon a bus, I saw a lovely maid with hair of gold.  I envied her and wished I were so fair.  When suddenly, as 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.  The lad who sold them was so kind.  I talked with him, he said to me, "it's nice to talk with folks like you, you see," said he, "I'm blind."
            Oh God forgive me when I whine,
            I have two eyes the world is mine.
And then while 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 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 go, with eyes to see the sunset glow, with ears to hear what I would know,
Oh God forgive me when I whine, I AM BLESSED INDEED, THE WORLD IS MINE!!!
