Beginning of All

God spoke and the stars spread across the sky,
And then the earth in the heavens began to fly.
The earth had no expression upon its face,
The Spirit moved upon the water in the place.


The darkness was in need of light,
And when He spoke it, He knew it was right.
The day became day, and the night became night,
The first day of God's creation showed His might.


The next day brought the parting of the sky and the sea,
The sky was called the heavens and that is how it came to be.
The day that was the third brought about the land,
And the earth was sculpted by the Master's hand.

The sun, moon, and stars shone their lights in the heavens above,
This was fourth day made with God's care and love.
The sun was given the rule over the day,
The moon came to light when night came to stay.

Every creature was created for the land, air, and sea,
And this on day five was the way that God meant it to be.
God gave the command to the animals He created,
To multiply so that earth would be populated.

Then as God commanded the animals began to multiply,
And all after their kind were created by and by.
The sixth day brought forth the fruit of the living,
Man, He also created so glory to Him could be given.

From the aardvark to the zebra, Adam gave a name,
And he was naked and there was no shame,
God created everything and He did His best,
And now it was time for Him to rest.
