Analysis of The Invention of Time
Before there ever was an Earth,
There was no time at all,
The universe did not give birth
To planets big and small,
Until the Lord decided to
Add stars to galaxies.
You might say that His dreams came true
And that He was quite pleased.
He then decided He would make
The night and daylight too
And help mankind to not forsake
The gift of time so new.
