Sometimes when the world saddens me at night when I fold my hands to pray I like to think how things would be quite different If I was God…for a day. The first thing I’d do is eliminate hate I’d throw everyone’s hate away I’d replace all their hate with love If I was God…for a day. With love in our hearts we’d accept everyone we meet along the way no matter how different they seem to us… If I was God…for a day. If I was God…for a day. Everyone would grow up healthy, safe, secure and well fed We’d all live long and happy lives and die peacefully in our beds. I’m sure there’d be more to do more problems to face along the way but this seems like a great place to start If I was God…for a day. Of course this will most likely never happen I may never get to be God for a day but at least it gives me something to hope for at night…when I fold my hands to pray.
