Inspirational Poetry

I often wonder why we wake up and get out of bed complaining.

We come to our jobs and say "I hate this place!" We go to school and complain about all the information we need to learn. We get off from work and walk to the bus stop or get to our car.We pick up our kids and can't wait until bed time. We make dinner and complain that it's too hot to cook. We go to bed dreading tomorrow.

Did you ever take a moment and think about how lucky you really are? You woke up and breathed and some people wish they had another chance to breathe again.

You went to your job while many sat at home and circled help wanted ads as they worry about how the bills will be paid.

You walked to your car,while others may be confined to beds or wheel chairs.

You picked up your kids while others wait and wish they could have a healthy child.

You made dinner, while many roam the streets searching garbage cans for their next meal.

You see tomorrow that some will never see again.

You learn while others died just to be able to go to school.

The time we waste complaining can be used to help encourage others to strive for the best.

Whenever I want to complain I think about someone else who would turn my "complaint" into a thank you.....and I smile and say...I won't complain.
