The Creator looked about one day

To see what He could make

And noticed that His foot stool

Could use someone to rake

By forming in the sand

An image like His own

He fashioned a man

To tend the garden He had sown. 

The man, his name was Adam

Was to name everything

And would visit with the Creator

Every evening when He came

Then one day the Creator noticed

That poor Adam had no one

To help him in the garden

Or nag to get things done

The Creator took a rib

From Adam we are told

To make for him a helper

And a hand for him to hold

The Creator told His creations

To obey and don't upheaval

Not to eat from the tree

Of knowledge of good and evil

For a while things were fine

All was happy and content

Till a rascal called a serpent

A subtle lie he did hint.

The man and the woman

Did eat of the tree

And hid in the bushes

Like the Creator couldn't see

Though He loved His creation

From the garden they must go

Because they disobeyed

Tough love  don't you know

Though sin sent them away

God had other plans

He sent His only Son

To save poor fallen man.

Upon the cross of Calvary

The Creator's Son did die

With a crown of thorns, nail pierced hands

and a spear stuck in His side

But He arose, He is not dead,

Death could not keep Him there

He won the victory over death 

There is no need to fear.

So look to the Cross of Calvary

And with His grace, repent

For your face is what He saw that day

For you His blood was spent.

The moral of this story

Learn to listen and obey

And if you see a serpent

Quickly turn and run away.
