By Robin Peiser (13 years of age)
In the beginning of what was to be,
God created you and me.
First He made the heaven, earth and light,
He let it shine for a while,
Then created He night.
God said he liked it that way,
and it all became the first day.
Next, God gave a few other orders;
He divided the firmament from the waters.
God called the firmament heaven, to say,
I have made the second day.
Now God created the earth and seas,
He also created grass, seeds and trees.
God said he liked it that way,
and it all became the third day.
God now made two great lights,
The greater light to rule the day,
The lesser light to rule the night.
Now God had created the sun, moon and stars,
He did all this so it could be ours.
God said he liked it that way,
And it all became the fourth day.
God created the fish and fowl,
He also created the whale and the wise old owl,
God said he liked it that way,
And it all became the fifth day.
God made the cattle and creeping things,
He also made the bird that sings.
Now, He had one more duty to do,
He had to create me and you. God said he liked it that way,
And it all became the sixth say.
Now that I have done my best,
I think I’ll take this day to rest,
This was all God had to say,
For He had created the seventh day.
