Reaching Eden
There in the garden of our birth
lies truth. Behold the light.
From where we came with granted love
is where began the plight.
As children of the created two,
who ventured then to Nod,
our lives determined at our birth
with days lived out to plod.
To get back to the garden is
the existing goal we seek.
It’s promised to the down trodden,
the humble and the meek.
You won’t inherit it one day
as the birthright, is His grace.
But, if you try to live as planned
then you may reach the place.
Keep Eden in your heart and soul.
Remember, it’s the prize.
Keep goodness there within you, too
You’ll then see Eden through your eyes.
