Day One

God is all alone
“Oh, let there be light,” He says.
There is sudden light.

Day Two

God makes Earth a shape:
A sphere covered in water
With clouds above it.

Day Three

There is no dry land,
So, God decides to make it.
Living things come next.

Day Four

Beautiful plants sprout;
God’s making them evergreen;
Trees, grass, and flowers.

Day Five

God makes pretty birds;
God makes nice land animals;
God also makes fish.

Day Six

God still feels alone
So, He makes man and woman
Looking like Himself.

Day Seven

Now God has some friends;
And all rest on day seven.
Everyone will sleep.
