I was once a beggar on the streets,
but the world gave me an opportunity.
Now, I am a completely different person.
Once, I cursed those who cursed me,
but now, I give blessings to those who are kind,
because people gave me an opportunity.
I was once arrogant and ungrateful;
now, I am humble, grateful, and loving,
because I was given an opportunity.
God saw my pain and suffering,
and He gave me warmth and comfort,
because He gave me an opportunity.Now that God and the world have given me a chance,
I will give that same opportunity
to those who are in need.
