On the first day I asked God
"How can I make this world a better place?"
On the second day I asked God
"How can I make this world a better place?"
On the third day I asked God
"How can I make this world a better place?"
On the fourth day I asked God
"How can I make this world a better place?"
On the fifth day i asked God
"How can I make this world a better place?"
On the sixth day I asked God
"How can I make this world a better place?"
And on the seventh day I asked God
"How can we make this world a better place?"

Then I looked down to the ground and saw a feeble rose plucking over the soil reaching to the sky, and I took a step backwards to give light to the rose, and it grew into a bush brimming with flowers bringing beauty to our world.
