His Masterpiece by Carol G Oliver

God must have looked out over nothingness.
And decided to create a world in the blackness.
First came the light of holy magnificence .
Accompanied by color of bright significance.

With tender care he placed the planets in order.
And each little star to serve as a border.
Tears he shed to fill cavities with salt-water.
The oceans roared spewing up bits of alabaster.

The heavens were completed in every way.
All he needed to do was crate night and day.
The earth was ready with hills of green .
Trees of every sort to cause sheen.

This was the beginning so fresh and new.
Morning came accompanied by the dew.
Then according to his enormous plan.
God created his masterpiece, Man.
