The Witness

And It Was Good

By Earl W. PearlPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

I peered from His Kingdom emblazoned with wings

And watched the creation of beautiful things

The Alpha Creator commenced with His plan

He wanted His Kingdom a dwelling for man

I watched it in Genesis, book, chapter one

God motioned to Jesus as Jesus begun

He ordered the darkness to, “Let there be light”

The darkness obeyed Him with nary a fight

He sprinkled the heavens with billions of stars

Gave Earth a few neighbors, like Venus and Mars

Since trees were created that weren’t ever seeds

It’s obvious “time” isn’t something He needs

He made every creature, each after its kind

Each one to remain in the way it’s assigned

The mountains He crafted had never been hills

These things aren’t an effort, He does as He wills

I watched Him intently, I watched Him in awe

Can hardly describe all the wonders I saw

Who else is creating with only His voice

Some major, some minor, whatever His choice

He filled up the oceans, the pastures with grain

And all on a planet that’s never seen rain

He put fish in the oceans and birds in the sky

Made everything perfect, where nothing would die

How long was each day of creation He took

One evening, one morning, it’s there in the book

So no evolution, no billions of years

No science, no permits, and no engineers

He finished creating, proclaiming it, “Good”

Then gave it to people to tend as they should

An orchard of trees, plus the one He forbids

To a man and a woman who never were kids
