Innocence & loss were found
Embodied in a single tree,
A tree planted on virgin ground
In the Garden of Eden to be
The tree of knowledge of good & evil,
the fruit of temptation, tragedy
The sting of hell crude & deceitful
Bringing disease to humanity
Who now trudge upward to heaven
Remembering the fall, their heads bow
Wanting only to be forgiven
To live their live free of dreads now
To enjoy the salvation brought
By the innocent blood He shed,
He who stretched his arms without thought
To give life by the blood He bled

- Comment from author about the poem: This poem's focus is the single tree in the middle of the Garden of Eden. That tree bore a fruit which woman & man ate, but it also bore the wood to make the cross for salvation to be brought to humanity. Thanks! Comments please!

a good message for all, to read.
Thank you!
Reads easily and portrays divine message.
Innocence was lost in that Garden, and again on the hill called Calvary, but in both instances it was Man who sinned. The tree of life and the wood of the cross, all from the same source. What a great poem. Very inspirational. Thanks. - Phil A.
