The First Human Couple

The first man that ever
Walked on the earth
Did not have a mother
And did not have a birth

He was created
From the dust of the ground
You might think this fact
Is rather profound

It was in the year
4026 BCE
He took his first breath
And a soul came to be

God called him Adam
A word meaning “man”
Made in God’s image
By his own plan

The man would become
Caretaker of Earth
Naming the animals
And playing in dirt

His beautiful home
The Garden of Eden
Had so many trees
That were good for eating

Adam soon noticed
The Animals had mates
A male and a female
Each in its place

But Adam had no one
To share his life
So God decided
To make him a wife

Jehovah caused Adam
To fall fast asleep
Then took one of his ribs
Which his wife would keep

When Adam awoke
And opened his eyes
This beautiful female
Was quite the surprise

Adam was overjoyed
To him she belonged
Moved by emotion
He broke into song

“Bone of my bone
and flesh of my flesh”
His words direct
As his love he expressed

She would be called woman
From man she was made
With this act we see
God’s love was displayed

The woman created
In a beautiful form
Compliment of man
Uniquely adorned

That pair was perfect
In every way
Enjoying creation
Each and every day

The aroma of flowers
Drifted in the air
Succulent fruits
Plenty to share

Watching cubs play
With all of their brothers
Just a little way off
Lingered their mother

Warm afternoon breezes
The sun on their cheeks
This was time for Adam
With God to speak

The gold and the gems
In that garden aplenty
The beauty and wonders
There were so many

Fireflies dancing
In the moonlight
The sound of waterfalls
In the distant night

Relaxing and talking
Out under the stars
Discussing the future
And what they’d done so far

Their incredible home
Could’ve lasted forever
In tranquility
With beautiful weather

This was God’s plan
It was his endeavor
Just Peace and happiness
For mankind forever
