morals to live by each day Options

[*krnxswat*]

I know many of you are and are not Christians, but I still believe it is an imperative lesson everyone can learn and a profound moral everyone can live by each day.

Today, upon a bus
I saw a girl with golden hair,
And wished I was as fair

When suddenly she rose to leave,
I saw her hobble down the aisle,
She had one leg and wore a crutch
But as she passed, she passed a smile

Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I have two legs, the world is mine.

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."

Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I have two eyes, the world is mine

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

With feet to take me where I'd go,
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.

[xosteffanator]

Wow, that's beautiful

[*mona lisa*]

Wonderful piece, whoever wrote it.
------------------
It could go into the Writing forum, but it's so overlooked and I want people to read this.

[Rachel]

^Exactly. I think it should stay RIGHT here.

I think everyone should read this and take it to heart. It is really important to be thankful for what you have.

[_sarcastic_]

that is such a great piece.
now it makes me realize how lucky i am

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

Thats beautiful. It really, really teaches you to appreciate everything.

[mzbbc]

that's so sweet and enlightening. but it makes me feel guilty.

[ParanoidAndroid]

Thats beautiful. It really, really teaches you to appreciate everything.

weerrrd ...that was so deep and beautiful

[HolyMoly]

THats soooo sweet!!! It made me want to cry.

[FoxBandCutie08]

Even though I am not Christian, I still believe that people should be thankful for what they have, most people don't realize how well they are off in the world, when there are people starving and freezing and homeless. Very good topic.

[The_AZN_Godfathe...]

We should be thankful we're alive altogether.

Right?

[sharpandcuddly]

wow that is super sad.
v_v
i would totally give that little boy an ear. and the old man an eye.
and the girl a leg. i could live without mine.

[cLinT_wEStw0oD]

wow....just....wow.

[*stephinika*]

that's a lovely little story and it really should be taken seriously. its a simple story, but it has such a message.

[*lolita kitty*]

aw, I liked that

[*jooleeah*]

this is wonderful.

[Smoogrish]

That's really touching. It makes me realize how grateful I should be for everything I have and not to complain.

[KissMe2408]

oh wow this is beautiful.
This should def stay where it is, people need to read it.
It is so true, very touching...

[klumzy]

wow thats really touching.. i think i should save that =]

[vash1530]

pretty cheesy dont know if it has any moral value besides saying "you should be grateful for what you have".

[Stephire]

I thought that was very touching.

[*krnxswat*]

dont know if it has any moral value besides saying "you should be grateful for what you have".

Yes, that was the whole point, dumbnut.

[EddieV]

"Even in Darkness, there's light" in other words.

Don't give up.

[Paul M. is baaac...]

Very good, but, whether it's overlooked or not, it DOES belong in the Writing Forum.

[MFDOOM]

MF Doom sighs.

I often feel as though I am an odd beast because I am far from materialistic. Over the past 15 years, I've made a healthy amount of money, but I still choose to live meagerly in my Long Island apartment where I'm free to spend my days raising my seed, reading, writing rhymes and surfing the net. I have the world. Family, shelter, hobbies and good health.

MF Doom's point..

Stop bitching. Life is good.

[m.ar.i.a]

We should be thankful we're alive altogether.

Right?

right

i read things like this everyday cuz of a friend who is a christian (and so am i) and she just happens to receive alot of chain letters. but i think i like this one the best of them all :) its really touching and sends a great message AND it doesnt say "if ur not really cruel hearted, u should send this to every1 u know and touch their hearts".... im not cruel hearted, im just lazy :P

[heyyfrankie]

so true.

[vash1530]

Yes, that was the whole point, dumbnut.

too bad it dosn't say anything abt hhurtin others feelings.
jkjk whatever dude it was a piece of crap and it didnt enlighten me at all abt anything. why dont you make a plaque with it inscribed and give it to ur mommy to hang over your bed or sumthing.

[*krnxswat*]

too bad it dosn't say anything abt hhurtin others feelings.
jkjk whatever dude it was a piece of crap and it didnt enlighten me at all abt

That's very unfortunate.

too bad it dosn't say anything abt hhurtin others feelings.

I didn't know you had feelings!

[DaTru KataLYST]

I'm saving this one.

[*wind&fire*]

thanks for that...i needed it...

[Just_Dream]

I moved this to interests > writing since it does rightfully belong there...


Anyway, thank you for sharing this with us, Seon Ho.

Everyone takes at least one thing for granted, and often we lose sight of how wonderful our lives are. There are those who have suffered or died a horribled death and never got to cherish the experiences that we go through.

I like the meaning behind it. :] btw Seon Ho, I dislike your voicemail. boooerns.

[*mipadi*]

I like how this thread garned a lot of respones…until it was moved to Writing.

[agirlnamed_aly]

Very touching and poignant.

Something you'd find in a Chicken Soup book, eh?
