Adam and Eve: Dr Seuss
In the land of Eden, where the creatures played,
God had an idea, a plan He had made.
He shaped a man from the earth with great care,
And breathed life in him; his name was Adam, I swear.
Adam was lonely, oh, what could be done?
God said, “I’ll make a partner, a second-to-none!”
From Adam’s own rib, a woman He made,
Eve was her name, in the Garden they stayed.
In this wondrous place, where all was so fine,
There stood a tree, its fruit seemed divine.
God told them clearly, “Don’t eat from this tree,
For if you do, great trouble you’ll see.”
The creatures were many, they frolicked and thrived,
But one was quite sneaky, the serpent contrived.
He slithered to Eve with a mischievous grin,
“Try the fruit,” he said, “it’s no terrible sin.”
Eve was unsure, but the fruit looked so fair,
“Just one little bite,” she thought, “God won’t care.”
So she took a big chomp, oh how sweet it did taste,
She shared it with Adam, not a morsel to waste.
But soon they both knew, they’d made a mistake,
For they felt a great shame, their hearts seemed to break.
They covered themselves, for they saw they were bare,
Hid among the bushes, as God searched everywhere.
“Where are you?” God called, with a voice full of sorrow,
“What have you done?” He asked, dreading tomorrow.
“We ate from the tree,” they admitted with dread,
As God shook His head, and to them, He said:
“From this day on, you will labor and toil,
The ground will be hard, and the plants will spoil.
You’ll know pain and hardship, you’ll suffer and sweat,
But I’ll not abandon you, I will ll not forget.”
Adam and Eve were sent from the Garden that day,
But God’s love remained, it would never fade away.
Though they had stumbled and had fallen from grace,
The tale of redemption began to take place.
