-- Behold the Creation --
by John Herlihy
What a sublime sensation
Behold this divine creation
Once there was nothing
Then there was something
Time’s arrow aimed sure
The heart of creation pure
The breath in its chest
The spirit in its breast
We wonder at its strange power
We marvel at the passing hour
The earth on its course
Such movement, such force
Light out of darkness
Created with such finesse
Day created out of night
God said: Let there be light
