Unmerited Complains

Oh yes, there have been complains from man
That God's generousity is short-handed and limited;
Since He is capable, we want to fly
Since He is capable, we want perfection.
But what would we get to not ask for more ?
What will it take to satisfy us ?
We were but a bloodcloth before we became flesh
And before that we were nothing, dead.
So why aren't we happy for our capabilities
to hear and see and taste and feel
and walk and.... everything ?!
Why aren't we happy that we exist ?
Why aren't we happy there is air to breathe ?

Oh yes, there is trouble and strife
And a great sadness that resides within.
But so is there leisure and relief
And abundant happiness in everything.
It's not the coin's fault that it has two sides
Nor the strawberry's for being both sweet and sour-
For every left way there is a right way
And for every cry a help,
For every abuse there is an equal compliment
And for every pain a pleasure.
The farther a man is from victory,
makes the victory more worth the while.
The darker the darkness in a man's eyes,
makes the light glow more and more.
So do not complain
Do not complain
Turn and praise God instead
