First Lovers

In the Garden of Eden, Planted where Heaven and Earth touched For a moment, was God's first man. He brought out its beauty with flowers and fruit In preparation for the unsuspecting first lady- But Adam was the one astonished. When he awakened out of a deep sleep, He saw before him... Alas! A vision, A woman fashioned and formed More perfectly than any ideal he had dreamed of. And God gave him her hand in marriage To rule and reign in their kingdom. They worked together as one and lived in love (The one only for the other And the other only for the one) With no one else in their world. Each other is all they saw; the man and his wife Communed with God in the cool of the day. They were naked and felt no shame, And this was Paradise.
