Creation
By Richard Maxfield
3-29-2000

In the time of the dinosaurs
Before the day of man
Darkness consumed this earth
Ruled by evil’s hand

Then out of the darkness
A mighty voice spoke
Set the wheels in motion
With just one stroke

Let there be light
So it came to be
Not only the sun
But enlighten for me

Light was day
Darkness night
First day passed
All was right

Let there be land
Waters divide
Earth was formed
Seas each side

Let there be grasses
Herbs and trees
Yielding their fruit
It came to be

The moon was set 
To rule the night
Sun for day
Shining so bright

Bring forth the whales
All the fish of sea
Feathered fowl
Flying so free

Let there be creatures
Each to his kind
Walking or crawling
All were designed

Let us make man
Give earth to him
He shall rein over all
That walk fly or swim

Six days had passed
Work was done
All was created
Even the sun

Look at my work
I’ve done the best
My seventh day
Will be for rest

Call it cosmic order
Evolution if you will
In the end it’s the same
Creation still
