I have gotten in the habit of doing this over the last 20 years:

if something then

.
.
.
end if--something

keyword ends where the comment begins, and have just inserted the
space.

On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
