The Garden of Eden was made
by God,
Adam the first man to ever
trod.
Beautiful trees and plants
grew there
Adam was happy without a
care.
Tree of Life and Knowledge
too
planted in the garden grew.
The tree of Knowledge God
forbid,
do not touch, or I will rid.
A lost paradise would occur
a magic kingdom all a blur.
One day when Adam fell asleep
God took a rib made Eve so
sweet.
Satan came formed a snake
tempted Eve for goodness sake.
She ate the apple ripe and red
gave it to Adam, Adam was fed.
A paradise was lost that day
a working life began this way.
Though this Biblical story of Adam and Eve is known to everyone, when put in such rhyming verse, it has achieved a novelty and can be enjoyed even by grown ups!
Speaks of a utopia seductively becoming a very tragic loss. The greatest loss in the history of mankind, caused by man himself. Beautifully told. A wonderful job heather. Thank you.

That's all, we're here to work, suffer and pay for their sins. Simple as that.
