You were the Earth

God created the universe and the heavens. To make the universe pretty he made one special planet, it was called earth.  One day he noticed the Angels weren’t looking very much at his most precious creation.  He thought about it a little and then he created the moon to attract everyone’s attention.  Thereafter his creation was always noticed and admired by all.  God’s work in the universe was done and he was glad.

Next he turned to the heavens and his second and greatest creation was begun.  This he called mankind.  As with the universe he made multitudes and he also made one special one, but she didn’t stand out.  Again God thought about it and created someone to declare the beauty of his special creation.
