On the first day God said “let there be light”
And there was light and God separated
Darkness from light and this he called “Day and night”
On the second day God created the sea and the whole
World was covered in water and God called the firmament
“Heaven” and so the evening and the morning where the second day!
On the third day God commanded the waters below to gather into one place
And dry land appeared and God brought forth grass and plants
And fruit bearing trees.
On the fourth day God separated the days and
The seasons and years and two great lights the sun and the moon
And caused the stars to twinkle at night And God was well pleased
On the fifth day God commanded the seas to teem with fish
And birds to fly across the skies and that they should be fruitful
And multiply.
On the sixth day God commanded the land bring forth living creatures
Wild beasts, livestock and reptiles!
He also made Man in his own image and told them to be fruitful and multiply.
On the seventh day God rested and looked upon his creation and was pleased.
God had created Eden and life was abundant free from worry for both man and beast
and both where fruitful and the earth was populated.
On the eighth day God looked at his creation once more and was shocked to see what It had become,
Greed and selfishness where abundant and destruction was rife
God looked away in shame, turned his back and was never seen again!
