What would you say to God if you met Him face to face

*Hello Fellow Poets*
Well it's time for another contest.  This is a collaboration between my sister Wordpainter and I.  We will both be judging the entries and decide who the winners will be.  


Here is what we are looking for. This is the scenario.  You are all alone and you meet God face to face.  What would you say.  It can be about anything you want to discuss with God.  It can be about your life,  society,  the world, the Bible, ect.  No bashing God,  anyone bashing God will be disqualified.  We want sincere poems as though you were actually talking to God and we don't believe if you met God face to face you would bash Him.


Now for dreaded rules:
1:  Prewrites are allowed
2:  Any form of poetry is allowed rhyming, prose or whatever
3:  No rules on length
4:  Enter as many as you like (hoping for lots to read)
5:  Remember  No bashing God

Prizes:  350 points First place and Gold trophy
        200 Points Second place and Silver trophy
        100 points Third place and Bronze trophy


Well that's about it, start penning your words to God and Good luck all.

P.S. Depending on how many entries we get, it may be  necessary to extend this contest closing date but we won't keep those that enter wait too long for closing.

Contest is Over

    Wow, This was truly hard to judge, We wish we could give out thiry one trophies for that's how many entries worthy of a prize. We were in awe at the entries you all deserve to win. But since there is only three prizes Wordpainter and I decided that 1st place goes to Mark Spencer's " Face to Face". 2nd place goes to Samplette's "Precious God" and 3rd place goes to Saab's "What Would I Say To God". Thank you all for your entries they are all truly great.

    Does it have to be One god? Or can it be a group of gods? I'm not trying to be disrespectful as to what you want but...if I was to enter this and be creative, I wouldn't want to limit myself to only a discussion with the generally accepted christian perspective of god (which itself varies widely).

    This contest is about God. What we want is what someone would say to their God . We don't want poems about "The Tv is my God " Or my boyfriend is my God or any such things as that. Everyone just about believes in a high spiritual being and this is what we want for this contest. If you don't believe in God then it's best not to enter.

    Thanks for your question
    Hugs and God Bless
