CONVERSATION WITH GOD

If there was a God to pray to,
Then I would pray for peace on Earth,
Good health and understanding,
That all woe be changed to mirth.
I would ask for truth and friendship,
Untainted by deceit,
That we could love each other,
Without the defect of conceit.
I would ask God to fix creation,
Undo the mistakes he made,
Wipe from death all mystery,
Make less steep life’s painful grade.
Give truth to the false word, love,
And blunt the tyrant’s blade.
