Sonnet: God Made Our First Parents Poem by Dr John Celes

When all things had been created, God found
‘It was not good for man to be alone! '
He put Adam into a slumber sound,
And made Eve from a piece of his rib-bone!

From man, Eve came and so was called ‘woman',
And thus the first couple had come to be;
‘What God hath joined, separate let no man, '
For they were made one through Matrimony!

Adultery became a grievous sin!
The purity of man's lineage, God wants;
Against the tempter's designs, we must win;
As Jesus did, we all can, Bible chants!

God did all things for good of man on earth,
But man undoes God's tenets right from birth!
