You've got your arms and legs, and you can see. Why think yourself in misery. Forget your toys and clothes, and all those weeds, More prayer for those with super needs. You want your dreams and things, and so much more. It’s all about me, and never considering the poor. You complain of a too small home, and lack of ease. Just think of those with terrible disease.
Everyone wishes and wants the American dream. But what of those who don’t have a single thing. Speak of all your big problems, then start to think- Compared to less fortunate, your "problems” stink. Why always focus on what you desire, When others only hope for warmth and a fire. Complaining of this’s and worrying about what’s- A nation of fearful whiners sitting on their butts.
If you have a roof and food to eat, I think you have it very sweet! So next time you choose to whine and cry, Just think of complaining to some starving guy. Comparing to Jone’s will always bring you down, Thankful comparisons will make you dance around. Yes, our modern living is pretty darn sweet, So let's enjoy it without complaints of heat.
Just had a hardship? Divorce or loss of purse? Just remember, it could be a heck of a lot worse. You can lose your freedom, eyesight, legs and more, So stop complaining at your local store. The world never promised to be that fair, But you surely breathe the far better air. Enough, I say, to whiners and their thankless mood. Let’s think of others and supply a little food.
So are you thankful now!? and feeling resolute. If not, you may deserve to live in destitute. Maybe then your made up feelings would match the circumstance. So let’s arise, rejoice and give these truths a chance. Today is wonderful with much gratitude to give- “Don’t worry, Be happy” is the way I choose to live!
PS And by the way, I wrote this for myself as well as for you-- I too was feeling down about a month ago when my Japanese wife (of 24 years) decided to live in Japan, and that my happiness business wasn't going anywhere and that we should be divorced… But I’ve chosen to Be happy.
