God made the Earth

the scriptures tell,

as day by day

and just as well.

 

For although he

might well have made

all his creations

in a day

 

A purpose there

most surely was,

in taking time

I think because

 

He wanted us

to understand

the principle

behind his plan.

 

For as his work

progressed in time,

each thing he made

was more sublime.

 

Thus, we should see

and comprehend,

as we consider

in the end -

 

Of all God made

both great and small…

a mother made he

last of all.
