When I look at people in wheelchairs, I wonder,
What if that was me?

When I look at children from other countries that
are suffering from starvation, I wonder,
What if that was me?

When I hear about babies that are aborted daily, I realize,
They're never experience love.   

When I see news of a school shooting, I think,
That could have been here.  

But, when I think of the people in wheelchairs,
I know they're just thankful to be living

When I think of the children starving,
I know they're parents do everything they can
To help them survive

When I think about all the babies lost
I know they wouldn't have felt much love to begin with
And are now in a better place

And when I hear about school shootings
I realize that this world isn't perfect

Things like this happen every day all over the world.  It'll never stop.  There are things people can do to try and stop it, but it will always be a present factor in our lives.  It is something we'll have to deal with forever.  

And when I think about all of this,
I'm thankful to be me.
