On this Sabbath ‘Eve

In just six days, earth hung
in space
Light brought forth life
To a darkened world
Then God looked at all He
had made
Meadows, trees and
little blue flowers, rivers,
streams and ocean seas
It was good, but it was quiet and
empty
Then God spoke, “Let the earth
bring forth living creatures”
and from the ground
animals roamed the
plains, valleys and hills
Then taking a handful of dust
and a scoop of clay
he created
man from a lifeless being
In six days God made heaven
and earth and on the seventh day
he rested from all he had made.
