The God I Wish For comical poem 646 by Angela Lansbury

I hesitate to interrupt

I know the lord's busy because

You don't have time to think about peace

When you've got so many wars. 


I often think that books deceive

I don't believe all that I read

I only judge by what I see

And this is how it seems to be


The way I'd like the world to be

If I were you and you were me

One who would never desert me

One I'd trust to never hurt me


He deserves praise, in countless wasy 

He brightens days with the sun's rays 


He waters the buds and  flowers

Tireless for hours, with April showers

He also send the slippery snow

So I stay in, now that I know.


The one who made the birds and bees

I might believe did it for me

But, alas, I don't believe

He made tsunamis just for me.


I must admit that it's a puzzle

But as I my fruity breakfast guzzle

I do not pray, no sir, no Ma'am

If he wants me, he knows exactly where I am.


I brush these troubling thoughts away

The universe puzzles bigger minds

Which leave my mundance thoughts behind

I know more than the deaf and blind


Don't show others I'm in a tizzy

But, like the Lord, I must keep busy

And never ask which group has won

But keep creating, mend what's breaking, - carry on! 

-ends-
