Promises
OUTSIDE EDEN
To the garden, add children twist - the boys
Outside Eden; were they ever great friends?
Cain’s sin parts ways; his jealousy destroys.
The blood of Eve’s son cries…to God ascends.
HEARTBREAKING KNOCK AT THE DOOR
A quiet day in shade - a broken heart.
Adam and Eve - their due penalty seed
Brought forth; the sting of death - Abel’s depart’.
Torrential tears before earth’s flood was freed.
BLOODY SOIL
Thus cursed, Cain can’t remain on bloody soil.
He must wander…”It is too hard”-complaint.
Afraid…all cowards are…filled with turmoil.
Mark placed on Cain - God’s grace…not poster paint.
PROMISES
This first recorded death…the promised end.
Christ’s cross positioned in God’s grace-extend.
