> 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."

> Later while walking down the street,
>I saw a child with eyes of blue.
> He stood and watched the others play.
> He did not know what to do.
> I stopped a moment and then I said,
>"Why don't you join the others, dear?"
> He looked ahead without a word.
>And then I knew, he couldn't hear.

> Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
> I have 2 ears, the world is mine.

> 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.
