God's day on Earth

His eyes were glittering,

His lips gently smiling,

His heart was warm

As He molded life with love.....

He created creatures,

He crafted humans,

He breathed emotions

Into every pulse......

He dreamed of harmony,

He dreamed of care,

He dreamed of a world

Where peace would fare.....

One day, curious and yearning,

He chose to walk among us,

To live for a day

In the world He made.....

Through crowded streets, He wandered,

And there on the ground, He found

A woman bruised and broken,

Her spirit shattered and bound.....

He rushed, His heart aching,

But she cut her veins in despair,

Leaving Him in silence,

Unable to comprehend

That humans could do this

To one of their own.....

He moved on, holding hope,

Seeking the love He dreamed of,

Looking for one person His Eyes could still glitter for,

His lips could still smile for,

His heart could still be warm for.....

But there, in a dim doorway,

A son slapped his old father,

And cast his parents out,

With words of ice and scorn.....

God wept, His tears spilling,

“It’s not what I made;

This isn’t my dream.”

He moved to console,

But the son sneered,

“It’s none of your business, old man.”

He fell to His knees,

Lost in the pain,

When a small creature

Caught His eye:

A tiny dog, dying,

With no voice to cry.....

Its body bruised,

Its breath faint,

While people passed by,

Not sparing a glance,

Too busy to care

For a stray dog’s life......

He crawled to its side,

Held its frail, bleeding frame,

And remembered the day

He shaped us from clay,

Fashioned with care,

Layered with dreams,

And filled with a world

Of perfect peace......

But His perfect world

Was now broken, scarred,

A place He no longer knew,

Twisted and torn.....

He rose from the earth,

Eyes dulled with sorrow,

And in His departing sigh,

He left us a warning:

"I gave you my world,

Pure, whole, and true.

But you broke it, shattered it,

Now it’s yours to rue."
