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
