The other night while fast asleep
I had a dream so deep and real
As I lay peacefully in bed
This dream changed how I think and feel
I dreamt I was the one true God
All-powerful, generous, kind
Back in the old wild west, I was
Watching, with love, over mankind
The Indians and cowboys there,
In the heart of New Mexico,
Loved me and worshiped faithfully
As I watched each one learn and grow
They created wondrous things
With intricate, clever design!
They flourished with wisdom and love
Inspired by all things divine
But in this vivid dream I had
Not all stayed peaceful, calm, and still
Soon, Indians and cowboys fought
Killing hundreds against my will
Conflict arose as each side found
They wanted things the other had
Their hearts were claimed by jealousy
As greed and anger drove them mad
There was no mercy as they fought
Their mindless anger was too strong
All day and night their battle cries
Ate at my soul and carried on
I love my children, each and all
Despite the errors in their ways
I wanted to protect them all
So I made the skies rain for days
It flooded paths and stopped the fights
As neither side could stand the rain
But my children soon opposed me
Wanting the right to inflict pain
They cursed me and renounced their faith
Abandoning their love of good
A lust for war consumed their hearts
But giving up, I never would
Distraught, I ruled the rains to stop
Giving my children what they'd asked
I watched as they destroyed themselves
Never was there a harder task
Watching the ones you love in pain,
To offer help and be excused..
It isn't easy being God
What's there to do when you're refused?
They curse me when they're suffering
And rebel when I interfere
I love them unconditionally
And for them I am always here
But being just and kind and fair
Not giving up on those you love
Is never easy as it seems-
Not even for the "man above"
Still, here I am, eternally
For all my children worldwide
Loving them, whether they love me
Not giving up or taking sides
And I will watch with open arms,
An open heart, and open ears
For the day when they once again
Request my help with all their fears
I'll watch them each and every day
And care for them forevermore
No matter how far they may stray
My children, I'll always adore.
As I awoke from this great dream,
I felt so deeply touched and moved
I thanked God for sharing His love
And greeted morning, feeling soothed
Each day since, when I feel alone,
Overcome with anxiety,
I close my eyes, think of this dream
And remember how much God loves me
