When life began eons ago,
God had a plan He longed to show.
In Eden’s womb, a sacred vow,
He breathed His spirit into man.
From his rib, He formed Eve to be by his side,
a true helpmate in whom he’d confide.
Together, they walked in light and grace;
in Eden’s heart, they saw God’s face.
But evil crept in, slithering.
Eden lost its peace, and strife began.
A serpent’s whisper brought enmity;
with deceitful temptation, the serpent came.
Eve now lives to rue her impetuous decision,
Adam followed—their harmony shattered.
Eden was no more, and mankind’s innocence was lost.
In sorrow and pain, they were cast away
to toil and strive in a sin-stained, harsh land.
Yet God gave them a promise—
a promise of hope, wrought from His love:
“And I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and hers;
he will crush your head,
and you will strike his heel.”
The Savior will come to heal what’s broken,
to bear the sins that we inherited from them.
With mercy and grace, He made a way
for all to find redemption in Him,
thereby restoring the bond between God and man.

A great poetic version of a biblical story. Just as poetry some read it as literal and others metaphorical none the less great well known story so well transformed into poetry
