ADAM AND EVE
First biological parents, Adam and Eve
to each other and for one another, they did cleave
created by God with His workmanship* divine
yet, they failed midst human nature’s whine.
First couple in their love’s partnership zest
both resided in great paradise crest
enjoying full blessings’ gain
but soon were banished in pain
when temptation won during their pride’s test.
Adam and Eve established first home on earth
Along first family’s children of precious worth…
Despite domestic conflicts, and relationship’s pleasure
Mankind now thrives since they multiply beyond measure.
*Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
