On the first day God said “let there be light” <br />And there was light and God separated <br />Darkness from light and this he called “Day and night” <br /> <br />On the second day God created the sea and the whole <br />World was covered in water and God called the firmament <br />“Heaven” and so the evening and the morning where the second day! <br /> <br />On the third day God commanded the waters below to gather into one place <br />And dry land appeared and God brought forth grass and plants <br />And fruit bearing trees. <br /> <br />On the fourth day God separated the days and <br />The seasons and years and two great lights the sun and the moon <br />And caused the stars to twinkle at night And God was well pleased <br /> <br />On the fifth day God commanded the seas to teem with fish <br />And birds to fly across the skies and that they should be fruitful <br />And multiply. <br /> <br />On the sixth day God commanded the land bring forth living creatures <br />Wild beasts, livestock and reptiles! <br />He also made Man in his own image and told them to be fruitful and multiply. <br /> <br />On the seventh day God rested and looked upon his creation and was pleased. <br />God had created Eden and life was abundant free from worry for both man and beast <br />and both where fruitful and the earth was populated. <br /> <br />On the eighth day God looked at his creation once more and was shocked to see what It had become, <br />Greed and selfishness where abundant and destruction was rife <br />God looked away in shame, turned his back and was never seen again!<br /><br />kipper Stagg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-the-beginning-5/
