Adam In the Garden

They were there together In bliss and harmony Enjoying life to the fullest And consumed in one another Perfection was in place And orderliness was real No stress, no work No rain for the Lord watered the earth from under All kinds of trees grew A garden was planted And in the middle stood the tree of life With the knowledge of good and evil Adam with his wife eve tended the garden Walking in the serenity of the day And the calmness of the evening Sitting often by the banks of the Rivers that watered the garden And listening to the Rivers as they flowed When they were told to eat everything But the tree of life The adversary came, With his lies and deceit he lured them to sin The heeded to his pleas and suggestions And fell like a pack of cards No remedy No help No comfort Chaos returned And distress rained Fear and shame ruled supreme Who shall redeem man? Who shall restore dignity to man And take him back to where he belong
