The Beginning of Man

As the morning breaks and day begins The sun ascends to the sky A whole new day is born again Like the billions that have done gone by The sea waves crash into the rocks As they have done since time began And soak the sand on beaches And to the sea they’ll return again Forest covered earth is home To a million animals and plants That live and feed off of each other The circle of life is constant The sky filled with every kind of bird A breathtaking view it is. As life goes about its own way For millions of years like this. Then God created a different type Of animal that came to be The ruler over all the earth He would name every plant and tree. God would call his creation man He would live in paradise Then create woman from mans rib They’d walk side by side. Bound to God and Gods rules And never to eat from the forbidden tree But man being man being tempted His desires would be set free As they ate the forbidden fruit Their minds began to see Their innocence had disappeared Their lives changed dramatically Cast out from the Garden Of Eden Man and woman had to make their own way They were given a shot at paradise But like man they threw it away.

True words Ricky, nice reminder of Mans folly, history repeats itself as humans display selfishness, and continue to reject God's directions and standards, hence the world is as we know it. Nice write.
