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 |

This is a good poem... we would all like to change the unplesant things about this world... "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde |

Very interesting thoughts and if I could be Satan tonight I would tell God that I had made a terrible mistake bringing all this sorrow and hurt and pain into this world and I would ask for his forgiveness and for him to please allow me to dwell in his glorious presence just one more time. James |

~JML This was lovely hon! How I wish you could be God for one night...but things aren't meant to be easy. If we didn't go through pain and struggles, would we really appreciate life for what it is? I tend to think not. Thanks for posting this. Made me think. Amy  )~Live today as though it were your last but prepare for tomorrow as though it were here~ |

Lovely poem, good moral content, even if it was supposed to provoke religious debate. Well done xxx |
