A Poem About Creation

God made this and God made that

And God made something else

It’s really quite amazing that

God did it all Himself

That is, if God even is a “he”

But that’s another subject

The idea that God has gender at all

Is really pretty suspect

But the point is God created it all

And created it all out of nothing

It sounds like for God it was really easy

There was no working or fussing

First there was light, then there was water

Then land and all the rest

It was all so incredibly simple for God

That it wasn’t even much of a test

Finally God created us humans

God created us in God’s image

In a sense, you could say that you and I

Are part of God’s direct lineage

God told us to multiply and rule the earth

God gave us everything in it

It was all just given to us as a gift

We didn’t have to win it

But here’s the most amazing thing of all

God looked at all that he made

And God gave an opinion and didn’t hold back

God called a spade a spade

God looked at creation and said it was good

And in fact, God didn’t stop there

God went on to say that it was all very good

The water, the sky, and the air

The fish and the birds, the animals, too

It all was as good as could be

And all of the humans were very good, too

And that both you and me

So when you’re depressed, discouraged, or down

You think it might be time to quit

If you think you’re not worth much, your value is low

And you think that you’re just a misfit

Remember the Lord God doesn’t agree

And God is the one who knows

Because God created you just as you are

From your head right down to your toes

You’re doing your best, and you will do better

God knows that, it’s all understood

God’s opinion is the one that counts the most

And God says that you’re very good.
