God watched his land flourish, creation was nourished, or so we are led to believe,
When man’s spirit receded, God saw what was needed, and blessed His man, Adam, with Eve.
They lived life in bliss, nothing there was amiss, the sun warmed their skin in the day,
Soothed by nature's own sound, food and drink all around, and at night, in soft moonlight, they lay.
As the days turned to years, in the absence of fears, evil waited to start conversation.
When Eve passed by his den, this unholy of men, confused her with bad information.
Eve caused Adam much grief, when she took like a thief, the sweet fruit from the tree that’s forbidden
Yet he stood by her side, his young, gullible bride, though now paradise from them was hidden.
As they grew in their love, knowing God watched above, over them, their sons Abel and Cain
And He gave watched as their sons, with their offerings done, learned of anger and vengeance and pain.
So the story goes on, parents, daughters and sons, living in God’s embrace and without,
Till He gave us His Son, ensured salvation won, and we still lived in anguish and doubt.
God watches us change, all that He has arranged, for us to survive on our own
But with all mankind does, God still loves us because He is hopeful we find the way home.
