If I could be God for just one night I could turn all the wrongs into right Heaven would be here among us And for all, a never ending justice Gone would be all the imagery Of countless evil catastrophe What a fantastic blessed sight If I could be God for just one night Never again tears of a mother shed Wasted on yet another innocent dead Too late to save one lost soul From a darkening stranglehold Absence of fear, of any mortal fright If I could be God for just one night Think of all the good which is gained Think of an unknown thing such as pain Behold all which is shone When love is finely honed What warmth from peaceful light If I could be God for just one night All the children would be saved As I send back the shadows with a wave And the wrongs all undone Together as one We are love, shining bright If I could be God for just one night If only I could be God tonight |

Beautiful touching write, dear Jerry. I believe God wants us to be His instruments down here. We need indeed to awaken to love to alleviate the pain and to promote justice. Much enjoyed your words. Love, Margherita |

Chalmette Guy - Not only great writing but crafted by the poet's hand into a prayer that speaks to an aspiration in all of us at one time or another to run things right. Thanks for putting it into vibrant verse Jerry. Namyh |
