Adam And Eve (Refrain Stanza Sequence) Poem by Gert Strydom

(in answer to Ina Rousseau)

I
Perfectly God created man and his wife
and constantly God was involved with them in each one's life
but did give them both a free will,
while they entered the world with skill,
and mighty angels where around them alive,
did warn them about Lucifer being cunning,
they were not in darkness existing:
by herself enticed Eve reached to the deadly fruit and to strive
and constantly God was involved with them in each one's life.


II
When man came to naked truth about life
where astounding and beautiful was his wife,
when thoughtful man did disfigure creation
God was near them through every emotion
but He turned their ways away from strife
and came to find the humans in their darkest hour,
to stand for them before the snake that do devour
when with sin all of creation was rife,
where astounding and beautiful was his wife.
