The Heart Of The Matter Poem by Denis Martindale

The first Man's heart was blessed indeed when Eve came on the scene
And Adam saw that he could breed and for that he was keen...
To hold her body close to his, to look into her eyes,
To cuddle close and then to kiss, seemed wonderful and wise...
Yet love proved not the most to gain, with wisdom to discern,
The tree of knowledge thrilled his brain with secrets still to learn,
That's when his heart took centre stage, with longings deep inside,
To surface like full passion's rage till knowledge was supplied...
Yet with it came a mighty guilt, while he stood naked there,
That made his stature somewhat wilt, now lost beyond compare...
But God was willing to forgive, up to a point, no more,
With Man cast out and forced to live with every sin and flaw...
That's why each heart now aches with grief as death comes to us all,
While some find solace in belief God grants a miracle...
Come Resurrection Day, dear friends, our hearts will beat anew,
In ways none other comprehends, the day I stand with you...
