An ungrateful soul worries about an itch in his eye
Forgets to be grateful for his sight
An ungrateful soul worries about his slowing stride
Forgets to be grateful for the joy of walking
An ungrateful soul worries about the rumblings in his stomach
Forgets to be grateful for his appetite
An ungrateful soul worries about the fruit of his loins
Forgets to be grateful for the joy of birth
An ungrateful soul complains about the snoring by his side
Forgets to be grateful for the joy of love
An ungrateful soul worries about forgetfulness
Forgets to be grateful for burdens spared
An ungrateful soul worries overmuch
Forgets to be grateful for blessings abundant.
